Caption: Clothes still hang the closet of a home in the tiny town of Pinhook in Mississippi County, Missouri. The historically black town was washed over by floodwater when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers used explosives to breach the Birds Point Levee as part of the Birds Point New Madrid Floodway activation plan. The town has a population of 52, but all the home now appears to be abandoned and vacant. The top picture was taken June 17, 2011 and the bottom picture was taken December 8, 2011.
