Note from Ed Hoke : We are up to our ears in water all over the counties bordering the Mississippi. It is headed my way (Herrin) this weekend. We do not expect a levee between the towns of Gorham and Grand Tower to hold. It is badly damaged from all the big rain events and is "sloughed off" real bad. We have created a LTRC down here to deal with the March 18 flood we had and now may have more. Will keep in touch.
