Aerial view shows low water levels on the Mississippi River, causing barges and ships to run aground. October also saw a record number of disasters in the U.S.
An aerial view shows low water levels on the Mississippi River in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, revealing pipes that are typically underwater. The low water levels caused barges and ships to run aground along parts of the Mississippi River in October and created saltwater intrusion concerns in southern Louisiana. A relatively warm October and expanding drought conditions across the Lower Mississippi Valley helped drop water levels to historic lows along parts of the Mississippi River last month.
The U.S. also confirmed another billion-dollar disaster in October, bringing the total to a record 25 disasters in the first 10 months — the largest number of disasters for any year since NOAA has kept track of these types of events. The average October temperature across the contiguous U.S. was 56.1 degrees F, 2.0 degrees above the 20th-century average, ranking as the 18th-warmest October in NOAA’s 129-year climate recor
