The southern US city of Memphis is confronting near-record flooding that has drove the evacuation of at least 1,300 homes, officials have said.
The Mississippi River was anticipated to peak at 48ft (14.6m) on Monday in the Tennessee city, 14ft above flood stage.
The authorities have evacuated sea-level neighborhoods, and officials said they were confident flood control systems would forestall advance damage.
Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell said 400 people were staying in shelters.
