Why am I noting a steel girder bridge that is so plain that Bridge Hunter hasn't documented it? Because the river is flooding. I wonder how much of the field that is out-of-frame to the left is under water.

I knew California was getting a lot of precipitation this year, but I didn't know that the Ohio Valley is also getting pounded. So I checked out the river level gauge at Paducah. This shows that a single rain storm over the Ohio River watershed can have a significant impact on the Ohio River.

Then it occurred to me to checkout Vicksburg, MS, because that river was really low last Fall.
