Nela? Should we be worried?

"most" is a little strong, just a few of these pricks actually think this and its ok BC it gives me something to laugh at

I'm from this area and if levees hold it'll be backwater in areas that typically have water most years, if they bust who knows?

Send an e-mail to dale661 AT gmail DOT com, and I will send you a map of the proposed flooding in that area. I don't want to hot link it here because the bandwidth will be eaten up. If anyone else wants to host it and has the bandwidth, I can send it to you.

Here is what to expect:

Word has it that the MS River came all the way to the North end of Wham, just past Hart's Corner on 134 at the train tracks. As long as your house is on the Swartz side and not the Collinston side of the parish line, you will be fine even if TSHTF.

I heard that in the 20's or 30's when it flooded, it was all the way to my house in Swartz. I have a hard time believing this will happen but wanted more opinions. Thanks for your response

I live close to the same area and have been looking into the situation myself. There are numerous stories is all I gathered. I have been told by most, that the Mississippi made it to just east of Delhi and that all of Ouachita's flooding was due to the surrounding rivers. I am sure that the surrounding rivers flooded because of the Mississippi though. Good luck.

Called "Red Hill".. Put the mail in a boat and delivered to Vicksburg..

My grandfather used to tell me how you could literally take a boat straight from where we lived (north Caldwell parish) all the way to Vicksburg. In Columbia there's a bar called The Watermark Saloon that has a black line painted around 3-4 feet high where the water reached (there are a few pictures still around that corroborate this).

I have heard this aswell. Might make for a great duck hunting season.

aight, seems like a few of us ought to get together and have some kind of flood watch party..

name of that hill

It's kinda hard to believe, but, it's not a hill at all.. A glacier moved through there and cleared out all that low land from Wham to the east and sorta made a trough out of that area.. The "Red Hill" is just basically the OLD edge of horizontal, if you know what I mean? Oh, and BTW, I was not around when reported glacier went through there...
