Caption: Tuesday May 3, 2011--Illinois conservation police officer Ralph Sievers climbs up on top of a levee to take a look at water levels on a levee holding back the Ohio River in Cairo on Tuesday. Water levels on the Ohio River, right, fell after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers breached the Birds Point levee on Monday. The National Weather Service said before the breach, the Cairo level was at 61.72 feet and rising. By Tuesday morning, the river was at 60.62 feet and was expected to keep falling to 59.4 feet by Saturday.
