This is the levee at Memphis in May of 2010 when I was last there for a short visit. The water was considered high at the time. This spring however due to heavy rain throughout the mid-south and snow melt from the north as caused the river level to rise to within record levels approaching the great floods of 1937 and 1929. This is what the levee looks like as recently as May 6, 2011. Copy and paste to your browser to view.
