Chickasaw & Davis Island

The Missisisppi River on the Vicksburg Guage is 45.34 feet and is predicted to Crest tomorrow (Saurday, July 18th, 2015, at 45.5 Feet.
This means the entire Chickasaw Bayou Battlefield and Davis Island (Jefferson Davis' Home,) are under water.
This is the highest the Mississippi River has been on this date since the Great Flood of 1927.
The Mississippi River is expected to have a very slow fall.
