64 on the Natchez guage would submerge most of the State of LA south of I20 as well as good sized chunks of MS and Arky.



I guess you're implying that 64 would top the levee system? I thought they could handle more than that. I don't remember any panic in '11 when it was nearly that high.

Rather than imply I will flatly state it, the MS river levee system can not hold out that much water without emergency measures such as sandbags, and yes it was of great concern in 2011.

Was 64.22 at Greenville in 2011, the big levee had a little room but was a lot of stress on levees and backup along Yazoo and other rivers. Was to arse of our lodge by Rolling Fork.
