Some Vicksburg streets are covered with ten feet of water.
Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace drove the boat during a Wednesday tour of Ford and Chickasaw Bayou subdivisions north of downtown Vicksburg, off Highway 61.
It was shocking to see just rooftops sticking out of the water.
Ford subdivision is completely evacuated for The Great Flood of 2011.
It's hard to believe the river is expected to rise 3.2 more feet before a crest on May 19.
"The water is really the highest we have ever seen it. You would have to be in your nineties to remember water this high, back in 1927" Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.
Ford subdivision is not the only one hard hit in Warren County.
In Chickasaw Bayou, houses that are on 12 foot high stilts are still getting water.
Mark Bridges, 50, was leaving the area Wednesday.
Bridges raised his house 19 inches above previous floods, but that still didn't work.
"Ole man river doesn't mess with you" Bridges said. "If he wants you, he will get you."
Roger Headrick, 58, has lived in the area all of his life and has never seen anything like this.
"My house is elevated up to two foot above the 100 year flood" Headrick said. "The way it's looking right now, I am going to have about a foot and a half in my house."
The Mississippi River has reached 53.85 feet on the Vicksburg gauge, the highest it has been since the Great Flood of 1927.
