Many buildings in the downtown Alton, Ill., area near the river are currently pumping thousands of gallons a day out of their basements due to the floodwaters from the Mississippi River, like this building at the corner of State Street and Sugar Alley Wednesday July 1, 2015. Only semi-trucks, background, are passing through the floodwaters currently covering West Broadway in front of the Ardent Mills. The river has crested but many officials are concerned that further rains may keep pushing the water levels higher. (Photo by John Badman/The Telegraph via AP Photo)
