Mississippi River Flood of 2011
Harbor Town was closed to everyone except residents for a short period of time in May 2011 when the Mississippi River reached a level of 48 feet (15 m), 14 feet (4.3 m) above flood stage.[3] A 5-foot (1.5 m)-high emergency levy was built in the afternoon and evening of May 9, 2011, in the west lane of Island Drive. The east lane remained open in the event that Mud Island had to be evacuated, since Mud Island Drive (the road north of Harbor Town and the only other land access to Mud Island) was under water. Some homes along Wolf River Harbor had to be evacuated but no major damage was reported.
