Description
Flooded Arkansas River that stalled "Big Inch" pipeline deliveries of oil for the East. The Arkansas River flooded thousands of acres before severing the War Emergency Pipeline near Little Rock, Arkansas. The break was detoured by quick construction of an 8-mile emergency loop and eastward oil movements were restored.
