Mississippi's Pearl River crested Monday and water levels are expected to fall later this week, the National Weather Service said, but flooding in the state and in Tennessee has affected hundreds of homes.

Law enforcement and other officers have been going door to door to tell people to evacuate, and officials have performed 16 assisted evacuations, Reeves said.

"All you can do is just sit back and watch," Sharp told The Associated Press by phone from his brother's nearby house. Reeves said that while there was relatively good news in the Jackson and central Mississippi area,"we as a state are not in the clear yet."

But remember ... there is no global warming

Karma is a B

I question the resivoir level prior to all the rain that led to the rate of discharge in the Pearl River causing flooding of areas near the lower river, while saving homes above the dam. Pearl River Valley is 'essentially a 300 foot high dish'.

Don't expect trumpie to help..he could care less.

I am sure there are very fine people down there.

It's almost like global warming is a thing...
