Seven Killed By Flooding In Mississippi
Seven people died and thousands were left homeless after weekend floods across southern Mississippi. Torrential rains soaked the region, washing away bridges and closing many roads over a 150 mile stretch from the Mississippi River to the Alabama border. The National Guard aided evacuations in Columbia and Hattiesburg, with up to 3,000 expected to be evacuated. The Bowie River is projected to reach a record 32 feet today, surpassing the 1961 flood. Hundreds sought shelter in Red Cross and Salvation Army centers, and communities in Morgantown and Marion County evacuated en masse.
