Inland Sea of Flood Destroys Farms and Towns in Central Mississippi
A great flood has submerged six thousand square miles across central Mississippi and neighboring states, transforming rivers into an inland sea. Thousands displaced, hundreds believed dead, and Memphis and other cities serving as refuges. Scenes show houses on treetops with families and livestock, while relief efforts mobilize from St Louis to Cairo and beyond. Weathered landscapes, ruined crops, and massive economic losses are detailed alongside hope as waters recede.
