The Mississippi River is expected to crest tomorrow in Fountain City -- a tiny Wisconsin town located across the river from Winona. For the past two days, volunteers have been shoring up a weak spot in the dike that is threatening downtown. Fountain City Mayor, Carl Brommerich (Brum RICK) says the round-the-clock effort has paid off and so far the dike IS holding. He says, however, there's still a lot of water seeping into the town.
