Additional personnel were assigned to field offices in Cape Girardeau and Dyersburg, Tenn., as more U.S. Army Corps of Engineers staff monitored the flooding conditions. "We kind of remain locked in this wet weather pattern with no big change in sight through early next week," meteorologist Scott Truett said. Another meteorologist with the National Weather Service said there is "great concern ... for flash flooding and eventually major river flooding that is rarely seen in our region." Runways at the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport were closed. For a complete timeline of the Flood of 2011 or to see the photos from last year, go to semissourian.com/flood2011.
