Flood hits Mississippi

Lacey Little, of Entergy, uses a post to indicate how deep the backwater flooding was above Mississippi Delta farm land in Issaquena County, Miss., Friday, April 5, 2019. Residents and farmers are calling for a flood control and drainage project as part of a long-term plan to help the people in the rural flatlands where backwater flood waters have been standing for weeks. Little estimated the water was over six-feet deep. [Photo: AP/Rogelio V. Solis]
