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.
