Members of the Louisiana National Guard use machinery to fill Hesco baskets along a residential neighborhood in preparation of impending flooding from the likely diversion of Mississippi River floodwaters into the Atchafalaya Basin, in Morgan City, La., Wednesday, May 11, 2011. The Mississippi River crested in Memphis at nearly 48 feet on Tuesday, May 10, 2011, falling short of its all-time record but still soaking low-lying areas with enough water to require a massive cleanup. As the swollen river surges south, it is expected to break an 84-year-old record of 56.2 feet in Vicksburg, Miss., Saturday.
