Midwest storms take toll DUTCHTOWN, Mo. (AP) Flood-weary residents in Missouri, Arkansas and Ohio fought to save their homes yesterday after heavy rainstorms pushed swollen rivers out of their banks, and a fresh snowstorm blew through parts of the Upper Midwest, canceling flights and some Good Friday services.

Along the Meramec River in eastern Missouri, residents of Valley Park hoped the town's $49 million earthen levee, built in 2005 to withstand a 100-year flood, would pass its first big test. The surging Meramec was expected to crest at a record 40 feet today 24 feet above flood stage. The Army Corps of Engineers and Missouri Public Safety said the levee was in good shape, but some residents decided to leave for higher ground just in case. "The biggest thing is not knowing what to expect," said Donna Gerstein-Russell, who moved to the area in January. Heavy snow fell or was expected from Minnesota to Ohio.

Milwaukee got 14 inches yesterday and 10 inches fell in Red Wing, Minn. The timing of the storm was disappointing for dozens of Wisconsin church officials who decided to cancel Good Friday services. Snow forced the cancellation of more than 450 flights and delayed numerous others at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. MAPLE ST. CAFE 8th Maple Sts.
