The backwater from the lake reached two streets leading into town. Lake Wappapello, which is on the St. Francis River below Greenville, reached its second highest level on record by month's end. A temporary dike was constructed at Wappapello Dam's spillway in an attempt to control overtopping. Lake levels impinged on sections of U.S. Highway 67 and State Route 34. The northbound lanes of U.S. 67 were closed for 1.5 miles near Otter Creek. Officials detoured northbound traffic into one southbound lane. A sandbagging operation kept Highway 34 open.
