The mighty Mississippi River floods the rich delta farm lands and threatens to overtop the levees. The river is at its highest levels in over 100 years and is not expected to crest in Clarksdale to at least Wednesday May 11, and Vicksburg Mississippi, further down river will experience its highest flood levels in 100 years. The Mississippi River flooding is devastating hundreds of thousands of acres of land, homes and lives. Aerial photos illustrate the flooding due west of Clarksdale Mississippi and south of the Helena Arkansa River Bridge.
