Has the Mississippi River flooded?
Yes, every year the volume of water increases in the spring, so that some areas along the river flood. There was considerable flooding in May, 2011. The last major flood was in the summer of 1993, when the Missouri River also experienced severe flooding. Before that, a more disastrous flood occurred in 1927.
The damage can spread far from the river, because when the water is high, the many tributary rivers will back up and flood as well, and they do not have the extensive levees that the Mississippi has.

When will same-sex marriage be legal in Mississippi?
This is a question that is best left up to the people of Mississippi. I personally feel that same-sex marriage should be legalized there. I feel more strongly, however, that my New York marriage should be recognized in Mississippi and that no state should be able to pick and choose what marriages they recognize. Mississippi recognizes all New York state marriages, except those that are between persons of the same sex. I feel that is discriminatory, but then again there is no law prohibiting sexual orientation discrimination in Mississippi.
