Pearl River at Jackson, Ms is nearly at 35' and the Ross Barnett Reservoir is at full pool. At the spillway water is being released downstream causing extensive flooding at the spillway and the river will reach 35.5', it's highest crest in 37 years. Hinds County has issued a state of emergency due to the flooding. Drone shots with downtown Jackson in the background of a swollen Pearl River. Shots of spillway with water flowing, streets flooded and just the tops of road signs sticking out the water.

Lord, we ask for your favor to make the water recede and please bless those affected by these floods and provide for them.

It's going to end up around Baton Rouge by way of the Mississippi river.

@@MrPAULONEAL Actually, no sir...the Pearl drains just east of Slidell...but you are correct in saying that the Mississippi is rising...I live in Tennessee and the river has been rolling for weeks...all that water is headed down that was, soon. I hate it for everyone that has to deal with flooding..

@@MrPAULONEAL wrong. The Pearl flows directly into the Gulf of Mexico
Drones are such a great new tool for observing damage.
Ah man, I was just a kid in 1979 when the flood came up to my school in Pearl, Northside Elementary, it was so scary and hope everyone stays safe!
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
God bless everyone down there that remind me of the 1993 flood we had here in St Louis
That one shot looks like I-20 and I-55 over the pearl river with the railroad tracks on the other side. I travel that road quite frequently in my big truck. Wow that water is high.

It is. They've closed Old Brandon Road where it goes under 55 and comes out at Silas Brown.

That ole Ross Barnett reservoir I love that place
I was raised in Jackson and survived the 1979 Easter flood. I used to fish on that spillway when I was a kid.
It is labeled a FLOOD plain.
Used to live in Flowood. Hope everyone’s homes stay safe,
Good time to go fishing. Damn rocks always hanging me up when it’s low.
Will the trains still use the track, with so much water
Awesome footage
Holy moly BARBEQUED FLIES!!!!!🤯
yup I live there my grandmother has to come stay with us when they start releasing
There would be a repeat of "79" without those levees.

Did they change the restrictions of flying over damns? I googled it but couldnt find it as easily as once before. I was detained once for flying over a damn. I was actually helping with my local rescue squad to locate a body.

Depends on the dam. If the dam is for hydroelectric purposes there are restrictions.

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.
Hard to tell just how bad it's flooded without knowing what it looks like normally. But still, I can tell it's pretty bad.
Cool 👍🏽👍🏽
We lived there and experienced the 1983 flood into our home. I wouldn't wish this on the devil himself.
As the planet continues get hotter these flood prone areas will be gone they need to relocate further inland or perish
That is scary
😲😲😲

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.
