Answer:

Hi, read the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Fourteen people were killed in Arkansas,with 348 killed across seven states in the preceding storms.Thousands of homes were ordered evacuated, including over 1,300 in Memphis, and more than 24,500 in Louisiana and Mississippi, though some people disregarded mandatory evacuation orders. The flood crested in Memphis on May 10 and artificially crested in southern Louisiana on May 15, a week earlier than it would have if spillways had not been opened.
