Mississippi River Flood of 2011 Sets Record

Sunday Bill and I drove over to Vicksburg, Mississippi to see all the water.  The Mississippi River crested May 19th in Vicksburg, MS. at 57.06' exceeding the previous record of 56.2' set during the great flood of 1927.  Bill's mother lived through the flood of 1927 but her family lost everything. 

"Ice Blast" in Mississippi

Sunday unlike in Belize where it was sunny and temperatures were in the 80's, Mississippi  along with most of the southeastern United States received an "ice blast".  It made for a great day to stay inside, watch tv and eat.  Schools are closed today and offices are not opening until noon today.

I went outside and took a few pictures to post this morning.
