摘要

Vicksburg, May 10. The swirls and eddies in the Mississippi River are visible in this photo Dr. Robert Engler took at Vicksburg at 8 a.m. on May 10. The river was at 52 feet with five more feet to crest. This is looking upstream from the Vicksburg Bluffs at the casino at waters edge. "This is the largest flood on record, it is amazing," Dr. Engler said.
