If you haven't heard on the news, the White River at Des Arc is at a major flood stage. The River is at 34 feet now, but it is expected to rise 3 more feet by Saturday. The last time that it flooded was in 2008 when it rose to 33.78 feet. The levee at Sand Hill was in danger of breaking then, and we are looking at higher levels than the river saw in 2008. All of our material possessions can be replaced, but lives are precious. I just ask for your prayers that the people in the areas that are affected by these floods are safe.
Here is a hydrograph from the NOAA. I am so thankful for the technology that we have today.
I took some pictures of some of the flooding when we went out earlier...
The White River. Ususally you can see a boat launch, picnic tables, and a big parking lot.
