Mississippi River Flood

On Saturday, we went to Natchez to see the Mississippi River cresting at the highest stage ever recorded.  The last time it was close to this level was in 1937. 
 The smokestacks on the casino riverboat (far left of the photo) are usually way below the bridge. 

Looking from Natchez to Vidalia, Louisiana.  The levee was holding but everything in front of it was underwater.

This is a no parking sign in the historic Under the Hill area of Natchez.


Vidalia area.
