Mississippi Flood Rages Through Four Breaks in Louisiana
New Orleans May 2 A cry for men went out as Mississippi floodwaters breached four barriers in Northeastern Louisiana. The break sites span from Vicksburg to Shreveport as Red, Atchafalaya and Mississippi rivers converge near Baton Rouge. Hundreds in Concordia Avoyelles Catahoula and Texas parishes faced danger as waters rose opposite Natchez. Engineers believed breaks secured Natchez river levees but warned of threat between Vicksburg Natchez and south of the Red river. New Orleans relied on an artificial crevasse below the city. Engineers said the river held steady in 24 hours and crews planned to tackle more water. Arkansas and Yazoo rivers continued upriver surge, muddy torrents from three breaks joining northern Louisiana floods to flow toward the sea. Reports said swift currents added to the flood’s reach.
