MISSISSIPPI RIVER: RARE WINTER FLOODING


From The Southern Illinoisan

After rain deluge, rare winter floods on Mississippi River


CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

Posted this article because of its mention of Cairo "back in the day".

Although Cairo has no flood gates to close on the Mighty Mississippi...

...it did within the past 24 hours close the gates to the Ohio River.

Yesterday afternoon, the gates were open and the gauge read 47R.
