Flooding & Fishing on First Street

My hometown of Vicksburg, MS will be 4-5 feet above flood stage by March 12 and city is preparing.  We have the riverboat American Queen coming Friday and returning the following Friday.  The river was at 36.29 feet Saturday and predicted to be at 40.9 by Wednesday.  The flood stage at Vicksburg is 43 feet. This is the Yazoo Canal that connects to the MS River into downtown Vicksburg.   

I hope it will not get into the Old Depot Museum again as shown in the picture above in 2011 with a record high of 57.1 feet.  This is to be expected when you live on the Mighty MS River.
