At 10 a.m. today, the river stage at Shawneetown, Ill., was 45.1 feet. Flood stage is 33 feet.
As floodwaters continue to recede, it is probable that the Cave In Rock Ferry will re-open at some point Thursday, as this morning's measurement at Shawneetown was roughly only 6 inches above the level at which the service can resume.
As soon as The Crittenden Press is notified of resumption of ferry service, it will be posted here.
