On May 3, the Army Corps of Engineers blasted a two-mile (3 km) hole in the levee protecting the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway, flooding 130,000 acres (530 km2) of farmland in Mississippi County, Missouri, in an effort to save the town of Cairo,
Illinois and the rest of the levee system, from record-breaking flood waters.

The damage cost about $2.8 billion dollars.
