The Final Push In Smithland

Side By Side

Smithland's Defenses April 28th

It looks like they have wrapped up the levee effort in Smithland for the time being. Over 1 mile of sand has been put in place to protect the town up to 54 feet. The levee was made from "defencells". These look like giant honeycomb shaped sand bags that can be erected with much less effort than a traditional sand bag only levee. Sand bags are then placed on top to provide more height. This was an amazing feat to be accomplished in only 25 hours.
