The Des Moines River level at Swan sharply rose nearly four feet and the English Creek near Knoxville topped flood stage and rose nearly 12 feet during the day Wednesday. Drivers are reminded to not drive through flooded roadways and anyone on water should take extra caution and be on the lookout for hidden debris and strong currents.
