zaxfire69 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 This is completly off subject, but I thought some of you guys and gals might get a kick out of seeing the Mississippi river at its highest level since 1973. Went out today and took a few pictures of the river at some different places just to show everyone how high the water actually is. In some of the pictures you will see the levee system that holds the water back from flooding the town. Town is called Vidalia, Louisiana. Right now the water is actually higher in the river than the town itself. So if the levee's fail water goes into the town. Anyway here are the pics. The view from the Bluffs of Natchez, Ms. looking over to Vidalia, La. This is a picture of Vidalia Dock and storage. In the background you can see the levee. Another picture of VDS from the Vidalia side. Water spilling into the woods and surrounding areas. Levee is holding this water from getting into town as well. A camp that is flooded The road that leads to the camps and other house's that are underwater. Hope you guys like the pictures. The river will go higher so Everyone keep your fingers crossed..
