Nearing the Top -- The flooding Missouri crowds the top of levee with the water up to the 27 foot level today. A crest of 31.5 feet is expected. At left is the main power plant of Omaha and in background is the downtown section of the city. The water level already is higher than tracks in front of power plant.
