APTOPIX Mississippi River Flooding
Cars are stranded on a dry strip of roadway north Vicksburg, Miss., Thursday, May 19, 2011. The floodwaters from the Mississippi River has displaced thousands of homeowners along waterways in Mississippi and Louisiana. For thousands of people forced from their homes by the rising Mississippi River, life has become a tedious waiting game: waiting for meals at shelters, waiting for the latest word on their flooded homes, waiting for the river to fall.
