Holding It Back

Holding back the Mighty Mississippi River. All thats holding it back is these sandbags. Clarksville, Missouri is one town fighting back against the rising river. There could be a record breaking Mississippi River crest later this week. The Missouri National Guard spent all night Monday building a sandbag wall and the work did not stop Tuesday Morning. More than two dozen levees on the Mississippi river could overflow during the next week.
