This
aerial photo shows the threat of massive
flooding and a levee breach was lightened Tuesday after the Birds Point
Levee in Missouri was breached by the Army Corps of
Engineers. The demolition of the levee sent
water pouring onto thousands of acres of
farmland Tuesday, easing the Mississippi
River floodwaters threatening the tiny
Illinois town of Cairo. The demolition
project did nothing to ease the risk of more
trouble downstream, where the mighty river
is expected to rise to its highest levels
since the 1920s in some parts of Tennessee,
Mississippi and Louisiana.
