2019 Mississippi River Flood the Longest-Lasting Since the Great Flood of 1927
By Brian Donegan, The Weather Channel
Mississippi River flooding has been ongoing for three months or longer in some locations, making it the longest-lasting flood there since the Great Flood of 1927, the worst flood in modern history on the lower Mississippi River. And by late May, the ongoing Mississippi River flood at Baton Rouge and Red River Landing, Louisiana, will also become the longest-lived at those locations since 1927, according to the NWS.
