    3. Yes, there is some flooding. East Dubuque has some flats area near the Mississippi under water. They have the National Guard helping with sand bags. The flood gates in Galena were closed to protect the Main Street. The ducks that are always on the Galena River can now swim on the part of the Main Street before the flood gates. The stores and houses in Galena are okay. Route 84 going to Savanna has a detour, I think the flooding is in the Savanna area. My sister and her husband who live on the River in Thomson had to move inland, but there house was up on cement blocks, so everything is safe except their storage area which they moved. We in Elizabeth are high and dry unless the Apple River decides to back up. Thank you for asking.
