The Mississippi River flows from north to south, running through many Midwestern US states. It empties directly into the Gulf of Mexico. It NEVER empties into ANY ocean. The State of Florida separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Atlantic Ocean; The Mississippi River is far away from both Florida and the Atlantic! Water currents from the Atlantic flow into the Gulf south and southwest of Florida, especially during hurricane season.
