good evening. there are now 4 million people down river from memphis, bracing and beginning their long wait tonight for the giant mississippi to arrive and tell them how bad it s going to be. we just returned from memphis this afternoon, where we waded into those waters. and there is news tonight that the river did crest, just under 48 feet, which is just shy of the record. and the swollen water is still pushing at the levees, but those leaks underneath, we showed you, those are called sand boils, have not undermined the strength of the levees. and yesterday we told you about the snakes you could see swimming around us in that water. but in a moment, we re going to tell you what else they are testing for in the waters tonight. but let us begin with jim avila, who spent the day barrelling along in the water toward the south. the 414 miles from memphis to new orleans, riding the rapids of the river, in effect, to the next big town. he s in tunica, mississippi, tonight. good eve
