  MISSISSIPPI COUNTY, MO (KFVS) - While the flood fight continues along the Missouri River to our North, new concerns develop along the Mississippi River here at home. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working quickly to protect the floodway down in Mississippi County from taking on even more water. Crews right now are working at the mid point of the levee breach at Big Oak Tree State Park. They are building a temporary levee to keep more water from flowing into the Birds Point New Madrid Floodway.
