Prairie County, Ark. - Barricades on Highway 70 between DeValls Bluff and Biscoe are in place to deter motorists from crossing the flooded roadway on March 26, 2008. This photo is misleading because the water doesn't look very deep; however, vehicles that chose to ignore the warning found water levels up around the wheel wells of most trucks.
