JACKSON, Miss. — Flood waters in central Mississippi have peaked and will soon recede, officials said on Monday.
Officials projected on Saturday that water levels would reach 36 feet on Monday, but were measured at a peak of 35.37 as of Monday morning, a spokesperson from the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency told ABC News.
Officials said at Monday's press conference that they were able to reduce the flows out of the reservoir by another 10,000 cubic feet per second and are working to reduce even more. Officials said residents should wait to get clearance in their areas before moving back into their homes. Once they return, residents should report any damage.
