The Mississippi River flooding in June was relatively minor compared to the April and May flooding. Several homes remained flooded, along with at least 10,000 acres of farmland. Standing water was observed on both sides of Route 3 in many areas. Several county roads remained closed. The Mississippi River remained too high to raise any of the locks and gates along the levees. As a result, the water from recent heavy rains as well as lingering floodwater from May remained trapped inland.

The river crested at 37.53 feet on the 1st and at 37.43 feet on the 23rd. Both of these crests represented moderate flooding. Though the flooding in June was considerably less severe than the preceding two months, a small number of homes and businesses remained underwater from East Cape Girardeau to the Miller City area, including McClure. Illinois Route 3 was on the verge of being closed, as was Illinois Route 146 near the Cape Girardeau bridge. Businesses near the intersection of Highways 3 and 146 remained flooded.
