"The Water She's Arising"

0.0 x 0.0

The mighty Mississippi River annually get high in the early spring, but 2019 brings historic levels (3rd highest in recorded history) to the Tri States of Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. Many acres of land are flooded throughout the Midwest, and transportation hubs are impacted as well. This is a railroad bridge crossing the river, with a swinging section that opens for barges and pleasure craft to traverse the river. The water level is inches from overtaking the foundation, but it crested on the day this photo was taken at 22 feet.
