The Tennessee river is APPROACH

Just how much damage may be
done depends on the amount of the
rain" said Dr. Frankenfield. with
some of the rivers already high or
rising slightly, new rains will make
matters somewhat worse.
If the rainfall proves to be very
heavy, it might start some rather
serious floods, but we hope that the
precipitation will not be very great,
The Mississippi is behaving very

One of the most serious floods at
present is at Bismarck, North
Dakota, where a great ice gorge has
backed water over parts of the city.
The 1owlands for about twenty
miles above Bismarck are covered
with water and the city of Nfandan
