MAP: AREAS TO BE IMPACTED BY FLOODING
FROM THE OFFICE OF MEMPHIS MAYOR A C WHARTON:
Mayor A C Wharton, Jr. and members of the Wharton administration surveyed potential flood zones by air Saturday, April 30th.
"Right now, it seems flooding is mostly related to uninhabited areas, but as the waters of the Wolf, the Loosahatchie, and Nonconnah Creek could rise with additional rainfall, we must alert nearby residents to the dangers," said Mayor A C Wharton.
Across the board, city divisions are preparing for flooding conditions, both from the Mississippi and our local rivers, and working in close connection with other agencies such as the Port Authority and the Airport Authority. The Mississippi River is expected to crest sometime between 45 and 48 feet by next weekend.
- The Division of Public Works has installed and supported 16 of the 30 flood gates that are part of the flood wall designed to provide protection, along with the levee system, to the City. The most obvious section of the flood wall is the area behind the Pyramid where a total of four separate flood gates have been installed and supported with plastic, plywood, and sandbags.

They are supposed to drop the flood gates around our yard there in memphis. Today which will shut us down it is supposed to protect everything north of the yard. One of the gates is around the Horn Lake bridge Road. Our yard office is off Rivergate Road. The one of the other gates is out by the Ensley Pumping station.
Any update on that area would be appreciated.
