Stretching across more than 1.245-million square miles (40% of the Continental USA), 31 states, and two Canadian provinces, The Mississippi is the fourth largest river in the world. In 2019, spring floods broke records in many parts of the Mississippi River basin. River levels peaked at record highs in 75 locations in the Missouri River basin alone, and constant high water weakened levees until they collapsed. The United States federal government estimated the floods along the Mississippi caused $20 billion in damages and at least 14 people died in that flood.
