When the River goes down, it just comes back up!

Federal officials fear lengthy flood for Louisiana, Clarksville

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the National Weather Service (NWS) expect current Mississippi River flooding in Pike County to last many days if not longer.
MoDOT officials on Saturday, June 1 did not know how that would affect the closure of the Champ Clark Bridge over the river at Louisiana.
“Once the Mississippi River crests next week, river levels are not expected to fall for many days as flood control reservoirs in Missouri and Iowa will continue to release water into the Mississippi for weeks to come,” the Corps said.
There is also a 30 to 40 percent for more rain Tuesday night, June 4 through Friday, June 7.
“This is a particularly worrisome pattern as any more rain on our rivers already in flood only makes things worse,” the Corps said.
NWS hydrologic predictions show the river between 24 feet and 24.5 feet through Saturday, June 8. The river crested on April 22 in Louisiana at 24.99 feet.
The Abel’s Quik Shop in south Louisiana was closed on Friday night and was surrounded by flood waters Saturday morning.
