With the latest National Weather Service forecasts now predicting a Mississippi River crest of 29.9 feet in Quincy next Wednesday -- just 2.3 feet below the record level set in 1993 -- the city of Quincy announced plans to launch a sand-bagging effort, probably starting Friday but definitely taking place Saturday and Sunday. http://qui.live.mediaspanonline.com/new_story/Disaster-2-THUR-MAKEOVER
