The Learning Network: 'A River in Rage'


WHO has been seriously affected by flooding from the Mississippi River?


HOW have the authorities responded to the flooding?


WHAT tributaries were causing even more worries about flooding than the Mississippi River?


WHERE in Tennessee and other states has the rising river caused dangerous conditions?


WHEN in the past has the Mississippi River flooded to record levels? WHEN was the last and only time the Morganza spillway in Louisiana was opened?


WHY are some people close to the flooding choosing to stay in their homes rather than evacuate?
