Thread: Mississippi River

Yazoo Miss Delta Levee Board (YMDLB) usually stays on top of it. They have closed the Levee to travel and we'll probably have to move our livestock off. They have lowered the expected crest at Memphis from 43 back to 41. Last time it was this high in January was 1927 & 1937. THIS DOES NOT BODE WELL! I'm mighty afraid we're in for a record breaking year. Everything is full almost everywhere. All the TVA system from Chickamauga to Kentucky Lake are full. COE reservoirs (ARkabutla, Sardis, Enid, Grenada) are nearly full or full. The St Francis is full, pumping station at Marianna has all 7 pumps running. Does anybody have any information on Missouri? All I know is the COE said they were NOT going to open the "Floodway".

MDWFP Officers to Enforce Levee Closure
Jackson - The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks(MDWFP) is reminding the public that the mainline levee from Vicksburg to Tunica is closed due to the current flooding.
"No sightseeing or joyriding will be allowed, which may cause deer and other wildlife to retreat back into dangerous floodwaters," said Colonel Steve Adcock, Chief of MDWFP Law Enforcement Bureau. Only landowners, leaseholders, and emergency response personnel are allowed on the levee and only for the purpose of evacuating people or property. Citations will be issued to anyone found to be in violation of this closure."
The MDWFP is currently patrolling the levee around the clock to ensure public safety and protect the wildlife resources in Mississippi.
