I do know the pics from Birds Point quite similar to what posted. Living in the Delta we realize the risks and this year one of the worst. It was estimated the flow of water by Memphis at height of flood in excess of 2.2 mcf of water/minute. Some of the number of flow of Missouri right around 200,00 cubic feet of water/minute. The COE levee and flood plain was one of the most expansive civil works projects ever developed and cost $8 bln at the time. It was a massive expenditure. I would have to consult history but think only the second time they have opened Birds Point. It is just south of the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. People in area were instructed not to build any structures. They had been paid disaster payments three times in the last forty years that never actualized. I think the Corp acted in a most responsible manner and the planning of the 30's is most admirable. The Delta is a huge flood plain from mile marker 82 on I55 in Missouri just south of Cape. We are a huge alluvial plain. A son in law a civil engineer and builds roads and hard to bid on things in the Delta as no dirt to move little has to be levelled.
