This is an aerial photo of the flooding in NE Arkansas in April 2008. The photo was taken by 3001, Inc.

Out of curiosity, did the extent of the flooding correspond closely to the flood maps?

Born on a hilltop. Live on a hilltop. Have no pity for those who gamble their wealth in the bottoms.

No, the extent of the flooding exceeded the flood maps. Someone had stolen the levee in one of the small towns. They used it for fill to build a nursing home that had to be evacuated.

Looks like the sewage lagoons (SW of town) kept their banks.
