This was the scene looking at the Mississippi River on Saturday afternoon April 19, 2008. This view is looking toward the north west where there is a sharp bend in the river. There is barge tow moving up river and was taking the inner curve to navigate through the extra string current. The river was at record levels and crested yestereday. There is flooding in low lands along the river, especially to the south along US 61 near Yokena and to the north at Steel Bayou. The top of the tree in the fore ground gives a hint at how high the river level is. The sky was beautiful clear blue yesterday.
