Anonymous Coward User ID: 19228212 United States 08/30/2012 11:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | PIKE COUNTY, MS (WAFB) - Quoting: The Chosen One Tangipahoa Parish is calling for a mandatory evacuation of all areas along the Tangipahoa River after officials were notified a dam in southern Mississippi is failing. [link to www.wafb.com] Biggest effect is how it could effect I-55 north of the Louisiana/Miss border. Even if the dam goes completely, it won't be a "record" flood for this area. that was in 1900. Mostly sparsely populated bottom lands. It drains in to a large wildlife area that runs all the way to the Gulf. |
