Mississippi Flood 1927

The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was the most destructive river flood in the history of the United states .After the failure of a levee at Mounds Landing, Mississippi, the flooding river flowed with the force of Niagara Falls. The levee failure eventually resulted in the flooding of an area the size of Connecticut. Ten feet of water covered towns up to 60 miles away from the river. Even after 5 weeks, the area around Mounds Landing was covered with 100 feet of water.In the end, the Flood of 1927 affected an area of 27,000 square miles, about the size of all the New England states combined. Over 130,000 homes were lost and 700,000 people were displaced. 246 flood-related deaths were reported. Property damage was estimated at 350 million dollars, equivalent to approximately 5 billion dollars today.
