Memphis braces for Mississippi flood as Kentucky holds
As Memphis prepared for the Mississippi to bring its floodwaters into town, Kentucky residents upstream returned home hopeful the levees would hold. In Hickman Ky officials and volunteers stacked sandbags for a 17 mile levee, about 75 residents fled, but the levee held with only a few homes damaged and no injuries reported. Downriver in Memphis and Louisiana danger persisted and Arkansas authorities recovered the body of a man swept away while removing barricades.
