1979 Easter Flood

[edit]

Added a citation to and edited a sentence that was plagiarized

  • "More than 17,000 people in the cities of Jackson, Flowood, Pearl, Richland and other communities were forced from their homes. The flooding of the Pearl River placed most of Jackson, the state's capital city, under water."

Added a link to the main Wikipedia article on Floods

Added statistics and cited them
