LITTLE ROCK, Ark. The recommended evacuation of the Dixie Addition neighbourhood in North Little Rock, which sits just across the river from the state capital of Little Rock, followed a false alarm overnight that a nearby levee had breached and flash flooding was possible. North Little Rock officials said on Facebook that they believe the Arkansas River will back up storm drainage areas and cause roads to become inaccessible in and around Dixie Addition, possibly for more than a week. The river isn’t expected to crest in the Little Rock area until Tuesday. The weather service reported that the Arkansas River in Tulsa dipped below flood stage for the first time since flooding began.
