No sun today. We took ourselves off to Paulette's for an oatmeal breakfast on Harbor Island on the Mississippi River this morning to see the mighty muddy at flood stage. The river extends 6 or 7 miles into Arkansas farmland this time of year annually which leaves rich alluvial topsoil from upriver on the farmland.
Memphis the bluff city sits high and dry 85 feet above and looks down on the river. This view is north down Riverside Drive which has been raised to prevent it flooding also.
We have cruise boats on the Mississippi like in Europe but the dock in Memphis is underwater so all boats had to stop downriver and bus travelers the rest of the way home because of the flood stage.
I de-hazed the sky and warmed the land in LR and that's all.
Memphis Sits on the New Madrid fault which scientists say will be bigger than anything California has ever had when it hits. The last time it happened was in 1811 and it created a huge lake on the Tennessee Kentucky border. Something that size would cause Memphis to gall off into the Mississippi.
