The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says levees that have been topped or breached in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas contributed to the flooding. At least three deaths were blamed on flooding and two other men have been missing for days. Amtrak said Sunday that its Missouri River Runner service between the state's two largest cities was experiencing delays up to five hours because of flooding and rail congestion. All Missouri River Runner trains were cancelled Monday. Moderate Mississippi River flooding was expected at several Missouri cities, including St. Louis.
