Memphis, Tennessee, Thursday, May 5, 2011: The Mississippi River at Memphis about 10 feet above its 34 foot flood stage, well out of its banks on the Arkansas side. On the Tennessee side, the river level is high around the south end of Mud Island, and well above its banks at Tom Lee Park.
The harbor boat “James T” goes downriver to help the 6,200 horsepower towboat “Cairo” pushing barges north against heavy currents. The motor vessel “James T” reaches the “Cairo” just south of the Interstate Highway 55 Bridge.

Check out my musical journey over the Morganza Spillway on May 16, 2011. At the time of this filming, 9 of the 125 gates are open. According to Wikipedia, The Morganza Spillway, a 3,900-foot (1,200 m) controlled spillway using a set of flood gates to control the volume of water entering the Morganza Floodway from the Mississippi River, consists of a concrete weir, two sluice gates, seventeen scour indicators, and 125 gated openings which can allow up to 600,000 cubic feet per second (17,000 m3/s) of water to be diverted from the Mississippi River into the Atchafalaya Basin during major floods.
