Yes, every year the volume of water increases in the spring, so that some areas along the river flood. There was considerable flooding in May, 2011. The last major flood was in the summer of 1993, when the Missouri River also experienced severe flooding. Before that, a more disastrous flood occurred in 1927.
The damage can spread far from the river, because when the water is high, the many tributary rivers will back up and flood as well, and they do not have the extensive levees that the Mississippi has.
