The city of Jackson issued the following warning.
The City of Jackson is expected to experience flooding in some areas of the City as the Barnett Reservoir releases water from the spillway to relieve pressure on the reservoir dam. This will cause the Pearl River to rise and is expected to affect some areas of Jackson.
Those who were affected by the 2020 flood or live in low lying areas of the City are advised to take precautionary measures as the water is expected to rise in the next couple of days. Some roads are beginning to experience flooding today. The City will provide a list of affected roads and closures as needed.
By Tuesday, the Pearl River is expected to crest at 36 feet which will impact roadways and some residences.
Sandbags are now available for residents to fill at 4225 Michael Avalon Street from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Residents are advised to call 311 if they cannot make it to the sandbag distribution site.

The Pearl at 36' meant water to my threshold on Beechcrest, East of Colonial Shopping Center. We left to relocate at a flood proof location.
Ruh roh. Not good. Be safe, y'all.
BUT Emperor Polluter Lumumba never issues public health alerts to the population of Jackson and points south about massive ongoing discharges of raw untreated sewage.
The Lumumba Floods
7:49, lets not beat that dead horse right now. This flooding problem has existed for many decades. We know how bad the waste water treatment is, but show a little respect for innocent people about to be flooded out of their homes.
"The City will provide a list of affected roads and closures as needed."
'As needed'? Like, ah....immediately when a road is designated, identified or determined to be flooded or scheduled for closure.
NOBODY with the City of Jackson wrote or released that. Thank God some competent agency is in charge of flood notifications and response.
There hasn’t been a Union Planters since 2004. It is now called Regions.
How long before we hear the mayor talk about “historic 2 day flooding”
Let the looting begin!
would the one lake project prevent some of this flooding?
The serious flooding could start on Sunday, or at least Monday. When will Jackson's "ambassadors" start the looting?
Two Lakes was a perfect plan.
8:17
Right, a perfect plan for a raw boo boo containment pond.
Flooding is a "wag the dog" moment as a distraction from all of Chowke's mismanagement and infrastructure failures.
