Finally, locks closed on July 27, 2019

After water seeping or rushing through the locks for more than six months, the Spillway has finally closed for now. The Mississippi River is dropping and hopefully things will return to normal for a while.

Good to see this. Wish Lake Ontario up here was down more like this...

You must be so relieved to see this.. 6 months is a long time!

Glad the runoff has slowed down. Wonder what the delta looks like now.

We have had the 2nd wettest year on record so far it all runs down hill!

I'm sure you will appreciate some drying time...a great wide shot, Coleen. V
