Threatened Area -- The flood waters of the Missouri River, already coming out of its banks upstream (top), moves down to threaten the Omaha-Council Bluffs, Ia., area. The stream, standing over 28 feet, courses south with only the floodwalls keeping the water from the twin cities--Omaha (left) and Council Bluffs (right). In the foreground is the Union Pacific railroad bridge and in the background the Ark-Sar-Ben bridge, main artery from vehicular traffic.
