FORT SMITH, Ark.—Residents in parts of Arkansas are preparing for what meteorologists have predicted will be the worst flooding in recorded history along parts of the Arkansas River over the coming week.
The National Weather Service said in the statement that levee “over topping” is likely, with “significant impacts to life and property across a very large area.”
