The Missouri National Guard asssited Atchison County authorities with personnel and a UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter to repair levee L550 near Phelps City as the fight against the flood continues. The Black Hawk was used to move over 145 sandbags weighing two thousand pounds each onto areas of the levee damaged by overtopping in recent days. The levee is being repaired with the expectation that it will prevent a full breach which would cause more severe flooding and would close state highway 136 located nearby. In this photo, Capt. Adam Freeman, pilot, C Company, 1/106th Avn. Rgmt. and Chief Warrant Officer Four Pat Muenks, instructor pilot, 1107th Aviation Group, guide their helicopter to the area of the levee targeted for repair.
