Meeting for Morehouse flood victims this afternoon

MOREHOUSE, Mo. -- An informational meeting for Morehouse residents affected by flooding will be held today at 5:30 p.m. in the Morehouse Elementary gym.

Mayor Pete Leija will share details about assistance available to residents.

About 75 percent of Morehouse was flooded recently, a situation made worse by a temporary levee built by the Missouri Department of Transportation to keep U.S. 60 from flooding. The levee ended up routing more water into the

town of about 1,000 people.
