VIDEO: Mississippi Pub Copes With Rising Floodwaters
The riverside restaurant and bar is one of several businesses in Inver Grove Heights that have been adversely affected by flooding.
If you want to get to the Mississippi Pub in Inver Grove Heights, take a boat, waders or, if all else fails, a front end loader.
That's how pub owner Joe Harms and his employees got to their flood-stricken business on Tuesday afternoon. The rising Mississippi River has turned the Mississippi Pub into an island — shutting down the riverfront restaurant and bar. City officials believe the river will crest on Thursday at an elevation of 697.3 feet above sea level. The water level in Inver Grove Heights on Tuesday was 696.9 feet above sea level, according to City Engineer Tom Kaldunski.
