    I no longer live in Mississippi, but I remember well the 79 and 83 floods. I did a lot of sand bagging and helped move a lot of people out. It was a horrible time for lots of folks.

    My grandparents' house took 9ft of water in 1979 and 3ft in 1983. I remember my Grandfather standing in the living room and crying his eyes out, as they had just gotten over the '79 damage. He ended up tearing out the wooden flooring and making a brick floor, a big FU to the powers that be. :D

    If they just keep the water in the reservoir, the water is going to overflow the dam and then it’s really gonna be bad. There are two sides of the reservoir, The one in the side on Brandon/Flowood, and Ridgeland/Flowood. If they both flood then the houses on the reservoir will flood and then it’s going to keep on raining, causing water to go into the neighborhoods and people will be trappped.

    Planet warming 1920s 1922 April-May All time highest stage at New Orleans with a crest of 21.27 feet on April 25th. Donaldsonville 2nd highest crest of record at 34.75 feet on May 16th. [AHPS] 1927 January-May The greatest flood in modern history on the Lower MS River! This event due to persistent excessive rainfall on many of its tributaries combined to swell the river across a vast flood plain that spanned 80 miles wide in some locations. This record flood event changed the course of U.S. history by launching then Department of Commerce Secretary, Herbert Hoover, into the national spotlight towards gaining the office of President. This massive flood prompted legislation to mitigate and gain control of the river through erection of levees, flood control projects and spillways to alleviate catastrophic flooding, under the passage of the Flood Control Act of 1928, the authority placed with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This flood caused widespread socio-economic impacts inclusive of mass displacement of people living in the inundated areas, primarily indentured farmers and field workers. This event is still regarded as one of the costiliest natural disasters in U.S. history. Red River Landing recorded its 2nd highest flood crest of 60.94 ft on May 14th; This is still the record crest at Baton Rouge of 47.28 ft on May 15th; Donaldsonville record crest 36.01 ft on May 15th; New Orleans had two crests; the first at 21.00 ft on April 25th to rank 3rd highest on record, the second 20.50 ft on May 18th to rank 4th highest on record. A crevasse was dynamited in the levee at Caernarvon, LA, 14 miles below New Orleans to save the city from flooding, but at the expense of destructive flooding of St Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes.
