The water levels have a chance to become life threatening as the weather begins to intensify. Author: Jade Jackson Updated: 11:19 PM CDT May 2, 2021
JEFFERSON COUNTY, ARKANSAS, Ark The Jefferson County Sheriff s Office issued a warning to residents Thursday, making them aware of flooding that could occur along the Arkansas River.
Jefferson County Sheriff, Lafayette Woods, says that the river reached flood stage levels of 31.6 feet on Thursday, which is higher than normal.
The flood stage levels continued to increase, reaching 42 feet on Sunday.
Flood waters have a tendency to quickly rise, which could cause it to become life-threatening.
Residents who live in the affected areas were advised to begin making preparation for the rising water levels.
A little rain couldn t dampen the spirits of shoppers seeking bargain-priced treasures Thursday in the return of South Lyon s citywide garage sale. The fun is in the hunt, Don Smith, 72, said. We ve been shopping garage sales every spring and summer for 35 years. This is our enjoyment.
He and his wife Carol, Belleville residents, enjoy traveling all over looking for whatever might strike their fancy. They started with toys for their kids and advanced to toys for the grandkids. Now they get toys for themselves.
Don holds in his hand a small, antique fire extinguisher with a worn label looking slightly worse for wear since the 1950s. He looks absolutely delighted as he reveals he just bought it for $2 and also got an empty newsstand box for $5. He loads both items into the back of his SUV, which already has a disc golf basket he snagged for $10 from one of the 10 sales the couple hit earlier in the morning.
