Slow-moving disaster rolls down Mississippi River (AP)

Water covers the west-bound lane of Interstate 40 on the approach to the White River Bridge near Hazen, Ark., Thursday, May 5, 2011. Eastbound lanes of Interstate 40 remain open while 23 miles of westbound lanes from Brinkley to Hazen are closed because of flooding from the rain-swollen White River. Arkansas State Highway Transportation Department spokesman Glenn Bolick said Thursday morning that westbound drivers are being diverted off I-40 at Brinkley for a 120 mile detour to get to Little Rock.
