This is the River Park Museum at Tunica. I remember sitting in a rocking chair under the awning thinking that the river could never get that high...

I was wrong...

Thanks for posting that pic. I was at that museum a year ago.

Have you been to Memphis lately?

Re: Tunica, MS. Then and now.

I work in Memphis, just not downtown. We're about 5 miles from the riverfront. The flooding isn't just around the Mississippi but the smaller rivers and creeks too. Most are flowing backwards as the MS pours into them. Any farmland around here with a creek near it looks like a lake. The silver lining (if there is one) is that it was a slow moving flood and it does not look like too much topsoil will be lost. The fields may gain some nutrients out of it. Especially if those stupid flying carp get trapped in one. When this is over, folks are going to be pulling those things out of their swimming pools.

Here are some photos from another site:

They were actually playing baseball.
No fans, but the game went on?
