Stoical Missouri man refuses to leave his home despite living in a FOOT of water as extreme flooding continues to cripple the Midwest
  • Al Boatman moved to Clarksville well aware of the town’s susceptibility to flooding and in preparation this year he built a wall around his home

  • But his efforts weren’t enough, and now the elderly retired resident finds his kitchen submerged in nearly 12 inches of water

  • Despite the profound flooding, Boatman says he’s refusing to evacuate – and refusing to let it break his spirit

  • In Arkansas, crews were making a ‘last ditch effort’ on Saturday to save low-lying parts of a small city from floodwaters pouring through a breached levee

  • Record-breaking flood levels in Fort Smith, Arkansas' second-largest city, remained steady through the morning
