Say Tim......that was real concern of the people that lived along the river back during the flood / very high river back in 1973, I think. I was working at one of the plants along the river back then. The river water got to about 4' higher than the road that ran along the levee.
There were several places that had "river" water seeping under the levee and people were really worried that the levee would give away.
The real threat was the coonass that lived in that area might go the other side of the river and blow up the levee to save there side from flooding.
