摘要: | Along with cooler temperatures, October brought some meager rain relief to the parched Midwest, especially the southern reaches of the Mississippi River basin.

On October 8, the Cairo, III, river stage fell to 4.5 feet, a new record low not seen since 1901, before the construction of modern locks and dams. |
