After three weeks at levels above flood stage in Vicksburg, the Mississippi River was cresting Saturday at 50.8 feet -- slightly below earlier forecasts of 51 feet. Flood stage is 43 feet.It is only the fifth time in the past 80 years the river has topped 50 feet at Vicksburg, and it is the worst flood since 1973, when the river crested at 51.6 feet. This is not a sweetthing! Read more about this in our Vicksburg Post.
Sure do hope the water line decides to fall at Vicksburg pretty soon. I hate lots of fast moving current in the neighborhood.
