Flooding has forced more evacuations in northwest Missouri.
The Atchison County Commission issued an immediate mandatory evacuation Friday for areas west of I-29 due to the threat flooding.
The Missouri River at Brownville, NE is approaching record levels.
As of Friday afternoon, the river is at 44.49 feet just shy of the record crest of 44.8 set in 2011.
The river is expected to crest at 48 feet on Sunday.
Near-record level flooding has also forced the shutdown of I-29 at the Missouri/Iowa border.
Interstate 29 at Rock Port exit 110 is closed due to flooding in Iowa.
The Missouri Department of Transportation said drivers wanting to use I-29 northbound should use I-35 and then I-80 into Iowa.

We were at Valley Fair outside Minneapolis today. The entire river valley is covered in water. Part of the parking lot is underwater.
Heavy rains moved in. A kid say "Hey, Mr. Displaced, Is that car sinking?" In just a few minutes, more of the parking lot started to disappear. It rained harder. All the kids were on the buses and we got the hell out of there. Raining harder now, it will all end up in the Gulf.
