The effectiveness of flood controls on the Mississippi river was tested once again during the flood of 1993. An unusual weather pattern during the late summer of 1993 resulted in soaking rains in the northern Mississippi river valley. Some areas received over 30 inches of rain during the summer 200% more than usual. With high soil moisture levels and a large 1992 snow pack, much of the rain drained directly into the Mississippi river, resulting in a tremendous flood. The states of Minnesota Iowa, Illinois and Missouri were the hardest hit . The river height at st. Louis, Missouri was over 50 feet above the flood stage for over 100 days.
