YAZOO CITY, Miss.–People who live in Yazoo City and were affected by this weekend’s flash flooding are being asked to self report damage using the MEMA self-reporting tool.
The city was hit with a flash flood downtown and in areas surrounding downtown Saturday morning as a storm came through, dumping several inches of rainfall in a short amount of time.
Main St., areas around the police department and the downtown canal were overrun with water, trapping postal workers inside the post office and putting vehicles halfway under water, trapping some of them while people struggled to drive out of the flood.
