An employee of Ardent Mills in Alton, Ill., climbs back over large sandbags protecting the mill Thursday, May 4, 2017, after fellow workers added another layer of the sandbags to keep ahead of the Mississippi River floodwaters. The painted black line on the mill behind them, which is taller than they are, marks the level water reached on the mill during the worst flooding in Alton's history in 1993.
