Flood hits Mississippi

Even this water moccasin snake has taken to the upper branches of this bush to ride out the backwater flooding in Mississippi Delta farmland 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.
