Delta braces for historic flood in Mississippi Delta
Floodwaters from the Mississippi River threaten poverty stricken Mississippi Delta towns after cresting near Memphis. The surge inundates neighborhoods, destroys crops, forces evacuations, and closes dockside casinos while Memphis estimates losses top 320 million dollars. In Vicksburg the river may reach levels higher than 1927. Local residents endure waterlogged homes, scarce meals, and mounting damage as the crest advances.
