Water, Water Everywhere!

A new flood wall is completed and hopefully will hold the water back from the Art Park and murals.  As of this morning, the Depot is taking on water.

Hopefully, the flood wall will hold with the beautiful mural paintings and Catfish Row Art Park for the kids.  It is a possibility that the water could come over the walls.

Grand Station Casino's boat, formally Horizon, rising up to the flood wall in it's cofferdam.

Looking down towards Highway 61 at Jeff Davis Road.  You can see the backwater of the MS coming closer to the highway south of town.

Driving 61 South the water is creeping nearer the road.

Passing over the Big Black River that is rising everyday.

Fields on the right side of the road inundated with water.

LeTourneau's (shipyard) closed because of the rising MS River.

Knocking on Rainbow Casino and Hotel's back door.

Sign at Diamond Jack's Casino.  It's almost to the parking lot!

Part of Diamond Jack's Casino is submerged in the MS. River.
