• Established in September 2001 • 6.2 Million Members Served • Largest Prayer Movement For Our NationDeluge Hits Mississippi With “Worst Flooding Since Katrina”Up to 10 inches of torrential rain drenched southern Mississippi in just a few hours Thursday morning, triggering flash floods that quickly swamped roads and homes and led to water rescues.Emergency managers in Gulfport, Mississippi, say between five and 12 inches of rain fell during a thunderstorm, causing major street flooding and water to enter homes. One official called it the worst flooding the area has seen since Hurricane Katrina.Biloxi and Gulfport were two of the cities hardest hit, according to the National Weather Service. Residents were told to stay home and all-terrain military vehicles were deployed to rescue stranded motorists and residents, according to the city of Biloxi.On Friday, strong to severe thunderstorms and drenching rain are forecast for portions of Oklahoma, Texas, western Arkansas and northern Louisiana, the Storm Prediction Center said."The slow-moving nature of the storm system will also bring an elevated risk of flash flooding," according to AccuWeather meteorologist Edward Vallee.In Mississippi Thursday, roads were closed across the region as both Gulfport and Biloxi were overwhelmed by the downpours.Gulfport Mayor Billy Hewes called the storm an "unprecedented weather event" and declared a state of emergency for the town.
