Rising Mississippi River continuing to test flood defenses in northwest Illinois
Rising water surrounds Modern Woodmen Park in downtown Davenport as the Mississippi River was close to cresting and flooding in the Quad Cities area on April 27, 2023.
The peak was slightly lower than forecast but still high enough to test the region’s flood defenses and to keep officials on guard. Many larger cities have flood walls but Davenport relies on temporary sand-filled barriers and allows the river to flood in riverfront parks. “It’s smooth sailing for sure and traffic is light,” Williams joked. “I haven’t hit a red light, and you never can say that on River Drive.”
National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Wilson said the river’s crest at Davenport of 21.4 feet was slightly lower than the 21.6 feet predicted for the Quad-Cities area.

Officials in many cities are optimistic they'll be able to either keep the floodwaters at bay through a combination of floodwalls and sandbags or to contain it to low-lying park areas. But some homes close to the river have been damaged.
