Rolling Down The River. . .

Here is the Mississippi as she stands today. The Army Corps of Engineers indicates that the river stage at Vicksburg is 50.0 and is expected to crest at 51.0 on the 19th. The 1927 flood stage record is 56.0 and we shouldn't get close to that barring any overwhelming rains. However, portions of Vicksburg have already flooded and substantial croplands have been impacted to the north and south.

The good news is that upriver, the levels are beginning to go down. You can access the data HERE.
