The Mississippi River level in Inver Grove Heights rose to 696.9 feet on Tuesday — just five feet below the 100-year-flood level. The rising waters prompted the city to sandbag along a levee protecting the Doffing Avenue neighborhood in Inver Grove and have forced businesses between the river and the levee to close until the waters recede.
