History In The Making

In my short time in life I have witnessed all kinds of records being broken. Records that they said would never be broken. I will never forget the night watching Mark McGuire breaking the single season home run record and saying "nobody will ever beat that" and then just a few years later watching Barry Bonds break it. I mean the list could go on and on and on. Records are set, but they are there to be beat. The one I never thought I would see in my lifetime is record crests being broken on the Ms. River. Most records were set in the "Great Flood of 1927"(notice I captilized it and put it in quotations). It was that great. It flooded the majority of the Ms. Delta while killing numerous people and completely destroying major towns. Royann (a.k.a. Little Hank Lamb) and I took our lunch break and rode over to the river to see what it looked like. Here are the pictures we took. The river looked like rapids, something you would see in the mountains, it was moving so fast. It is on the emergency levee's about six to eight feet.
