Richard Kerns and his son, Zechariah Kerns, 2, ride a four-wheeler through flood waters off Chickasaw Road Tuesday afternoon while a neighbor’s dog, Peanut, follows. The Mississippi River this morning was recorded at 41.3 feet, up .1 foot from Tuesday; flood stage is 43 feet. The high level has left water over some streets in the Chickasaw and Long Lake areas.
