The Mississippi River at Baton Rouge is currently at major flood stage. An LMG crew went out on Monday and measured gage height at 42.31 ft. The river is expected to crest tomorrow and then fall over the next couple of weeks. For more info, visit ow.ly/NSb150VKSYx

Without the dedicated public servants at USGS, we’d have no information for flood warnings, bridge design, boating safety, or water availability for homes, businesses and farms. See the full infographic at usgs.gov/media/images/w… #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek #PSRW
