After three+ days of rain last week, you might imagine parts of Mississippi would be susceptible to flooding. The Delta region is no different. Since it is full of low-lying farmland/floodplain, with many streams throughout the region, it is particularly susceptible. Basically the Delta region is one big floodplain, which explains its particularly fertile soil (thousands of years worth of silt-laden water flooding an area tends to create soil on the fertile side). These are some pictures I snapped along Highway 6 in Panola and Quitman counties on Saturday morning and afternoon on my way to and back from a CPC church outreach/cook-out function in Lambert, MS (just south of Marks, in Quitman County). I forget which ones were taken where since Blogger didn't post them in the order I added them (go figure), but two of them are in Panola County, and the other three in Quitman County. Enjoy!
(p.s. I should probably see a therapist about my obsession with the Delta region).
