The Memphis Riverfront Returning to Normal

As I was running around town the other day, I realized that some of you may be interested to know how the riverfront looks. My impression is that the flooded areas have recovered incredibly fast, however there are still problems that need to be addressed. One that grabbed my eye from a distance was a sinkhole that has formed on southern end of Mud Island and one I saw much more closely, the severely eroded riverbank.

Lots of work is going on down there and lots of grass growing. Here are a few of the photos I took this week compared to some when the flooding was at a high point in May.

    Tremendous compare and contrast JP! Thanks for sharing. I can only hope and pray we see this “return to normal” in North Dakota along many flooding areas sooner than later. Thanks for linking up today!
