Day of the Crest: May 19, 2011: 57.1 feet

 These photos were taken this morning to record the Mississippi River at its highest ever level in Vicksburg. Photos at the bridge were taken at two different times. These were taken at around 7 a.m. and a batch below was taken at 6 a.m. What a majestic sight the river is.

 I have taken photos of the two home above throughout the flood. I will show you the progression of the flood at a later day.

High water at Vicksburg

The river is certainly rising at Vicksburg. These two photos were taken from the DiamondJacks Casino parking lot last week when the water had just hit the flood stage of 43 feet. The photos were taken just after sunset and the sky threw some wonderful colors on the water. I couldn't decide whether I liked the vertical or horizontal photo better, so I just posted them both! Go by City Front when you get a chance and see for yourself the progression of the floodwater. It's an impressive sight.
