[at-l] Frances and Home Destruction

Actually the delta is Wyoming washed down the river. The mountains in
Wyoming were at one point 60,000 feet high, they eroded down and the remains
are the delta plus a good bit of Mississippi surrounding states.

As a trivia question do you know what created the delta in the first place?

I'm from what I consider the Real Mississippi Delta, the area in Mississippi
from Memphis to Vicksburg, from the Mississippi River inland about 60 miles
to Greenwood.  That was formed, pre-levees, by centuries of annual flooding.
That's cotton land, flat as a table top.  Gorgeous stuff.  anklebear
