More levees at risk as rivers swell in Midwest

The Mississippi River is expected to crest Saturday near the small town of St. Mary, Missouri. That is 40 miles south of St. Louis, where residents are still recovering from the damage caused by record high water earlier this week. The flooding in Missouri and Illinois is blamed for at least 22 deaths, with five people missing. David Begnaud reports from Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
