Officials in Faulkner County have set up checkpoints along the river and are closing off sections of land that are being taken by the Arkansas River flood waters as the historic flood pushes into Central Arkansas. For those being displaced, there is a shelter opening in Conway at the Don Owens Center that will take people as well as their pets.
This video from THV 11 shows the kind of flooding potential faced in Faulkner County and provides some information as to areas that will want to take advantage of the opportunity to evacuate.
