At 4.86 feet, the Mississippi River is 52 feet below where it was on May 19, 2011, at the height of last year's historic flooding.
(Edit: There are two bridges at Vicksburg, they're the same height for purposes of this comparison)

Here's something you don't see every day --a nice Alfetta done up as an Itasha (or "Ouch Car", anime-decorated car) for the anime Strike Witches. I'll admit it, I'm a big anime fan. The character is Italian, BTW.

I didn't know the Chain of Rocks had a car show. Pretty cool.
