The flood waters of the Mississippi are creeping higher and now are threatening many areas of the south.
Here the Old Train Depot and flood walls of downtown Vicksburg, Miss. are being drenched. Flooding is expected on both sides of the river along the tributaries that are being backed up onto communities, farm lands and businesses. The water level was not expected to crest in Vicksburg until Thursday, and this is Saturday, so I'm sure it's much worse.
