Floods put Mississippi capital in 'precarious situation'

Flooding prompts state of emergency in MississippiThe Associated Press

In one Jackson neighborhood, residents paddled canoes, kayaks and small fishing boats to check on their houses, giving lifts to other neighbors. Some were able to get inside while others peeked into the windows to see what, if any damage, had been done inside. Outside floodwaters lapped at mailboxes, street signs and cars that had been left in driveways.

Rescuers performed four assisted evacuations Saturday, although they said none were needed overnight. Nearly 2,400 structures across the three counties closest to the river and the reservoir — Hinds, Rankin and Madison counties — could be impacted, meaning they either get water inside or are surrounded by water, said Malary White, of the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.

“We’ve been able to stay in here when the water gets up," John Smith said. “But as you’ve watched it over the years, you know when to get out. It’s time to get out this time.”

Let’s just hope it remains the 3 worse. We will never recover from ‘79

And The Ross Barnett Reservoir

Guess they better pray it away since they're probably climate change deniers.

Precarious is betting 'Hard 8' on a Crap Table STUPID is having a city on a flood plain, a cash boom thanks to Natural Gas & insufficient mitigation projects including levees, dams, floodwalls, jetties, retention ponds.

58% of Mississippi in 2016 voted for someone who told them climate change wasn’t real. How real is it now? Think about ur next vote.

Believing in Science can do the world some good

Climate change remains the 1 threat

Deus os abençoe!

But Trump just said that Climate Change is a hoax because it snowed along the border.

Also in the USA water management is not very strong indeed.

Like a scene in Parasite

Global warming people.

Not to fear, trump sending Vince to sort this out tmrw. Seriously folks. Respect flood zones and vote for whomever will tackle climate change most aggressively.

Send that water west via our solar and wind powered water pipelines. Drought out west. Thanks.

My sincere regards to my friends in Jackson. It’s going to get wet.

Build in a flood zone... I don't wish anyone harm yet no one should have been allowed anywhere in America to build in flood zones. The cities know this. This can be fixed. Fix it.

Gov. Kay Ivey, a Republican who took office last year after the previous governor resigned, did not mention water or the environment, other than to say that state agencies have improved their communication during disastrous weather. GovernorKayIvey volume is at 2

🤯😱!

So, dried up water sources = climate change. And overflowing water sources also = climate change? Lol
