Rexburg residents can expect minor flooding in the next few weeks. A combination of warm temperatures, melting snow and rainfall led to flooding in northern Idaho, including the Coeur dAlene and St. Joe Rivers, according to Robert Feeley, public information officer for the Idaho Bureau of Homeland Security. Flooding from Henrys Fork River and the Teton River will affect Rexburg area, said National Weather Service Forecaster Dan Valle. Valle said that flooding will occur in low-lying farm lands and parks in the Rexburg area, including the Rexburg Nature Park. St. Anthony residents can expect to experience flooding near Parkour Salem road and on pasture and farm land near Highway 20.
Valle said flooding normally occurs in Idaho this time of year because of melting snow. However, the warm weather last week has caused more flooding to occur earlier than usual.

Passengers aboard the Pennsylvania flight commandeered the plane from the hijackers and forced it down, killing everyone on board, but likely sparing the lives of those in the airplanes intended path. Following the 9/11 attacks, bin Laden quickly took responsibility for the terrorism. Ascribing it to the Muslim principle of jihad, or holy war, he justified his role in the attacks outlining longtime American support of the nation of Israel, among other alleged wrongdoings by the Western superpower. Since 9/11, al-Qaeda has taken responsibility for many other terrorist attacks, including the 2001 shoe bomb plot, in which convicted terrorist Richard Reid attempted to smuggle a bomb onto an airplane in his shoe. They also claimed responsibility for the Christmas 2009 bombing in Detroit, Mich., in which Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab smuggled
explosives in his underwear in an airplane that had landed at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. There have been no terrorist attacks for which al-Qaeda has taken responsibility since before the death of Osama bin Laden, but that doesnt mean that the terrorist organization has ceased to be a concern. In a White House press release, the office of the President of the United States claims that Al-Qaeda is weaker than its ever been. Still, Rose is cautious. The administration was very wise in giving bin Laden a Muslim burial at sea because that will prevent others from treating his grave like a shrine. However, al-Qaeda is still a very real threat, Rose said. Rose, who teaches a BYU-I class focused on terrorism, went on to describe the cycle of violence, saying theres a possibility that al-Qaeda may be planning retaliation for the deaths of bin Laden and al-Awlaki.
