Caption: Tuesday May 3, 2011--Ben Tatum, a geotechnical engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, strategically places sand bags delivered by members of the Illinois Army National Guard at the site of a sand boil they're trying mitigate near the levee on the north end of Cairo. Since breaching the Birds Point levee on Monday night river levels have fallen in Cairo, but the flood water is still high enough that officials are not allowing residents to return to their homes in Cairo.
