Mighty Mississippi

A lot of talk has been of the frightening water levels for the Mississippi River, and flooding concerns. This photo was taken in Vicksburg, Mississippi on 4-9-2008. The river used to be about forty feet down the submerged embankment. The water is already forcing city officials to take protective measures and close the river all that protects the city from the Mississippi… but truthfully if the river wants something, it will take it.
