Record Flood Devastates Rock Island and Davenport Areas
Across northern Mississippi cities crews battle historic high water. The dam overflow floods low ground, capsizing docks, inundating mills and basements, and forcing evacuations. In Rock Island the Peoria and Rock Island Road embankment fails, while Davenport reports widespread inundation and submerged streets and yards. The note details pump action, damaged businesses, and public facilities as residents cope with rising tides.
