It looks like we will be reaching flood stage by Saturday with heavy rains in the upper MS River and Ohio River basins contributing to rising waters here in my hometown of Vicksburg, MS. Flood stage is 43.3 feet and it is projected to reach 48 feet by March 3rd. Tomorrow's forecast issued today is 42 feet.
This is not taking into account all the snow up north that has not melted and some are predicting worse than the 2011 flood here. Let's hope and pray that history will not repeat itself or worse.
