We stayed in Vicksburg MS for one night while travelling from Picayune to Arkansas. When we checked in we were told that due to flooding of the Mississippi River and a water main break that was under the flooded area there would be no water, for possibly 5 days!

We did have water for a couple of hours from a nearby water tower so we filled up all our bottles and pitchers and pots. It was enough to wash a few dishes and flush the toilet and drink, but not enough for showers the next morning.

I do feel bad for all the residents of Vicksburg though, and I hope they managed ok with the combination of floodwaters and no water in the taps.
