Heavy rains have caused the Yellow River to rise to 12-to-13 feet this week, spilling out of its banks to flood a nearby RV park. Riverside Mobile Home Park, located off I-20 and Almon Roads, was under water Tuesday, flooding one RV and one mobile home and endangering another mobile home on Sycamore Trail. "They're expecting the river to crest and begin to fall, but it’s going to be a slow flow," said Jody Nolan, Director of Newton County's Emergency Management Agency (EMA).
