Live images of Mississippi river flooding (PHOTOS)
The 'Mighty' Mississippi river has risen steeply - in some places to record levels - as a result of higher than usual rains, flooding various areas along its winding trajectory cutting across the central U.S.
Many residents nearby have been forced to evacuate their homes while at some locations, flood control systems have been activated.
Heavy rain in April along the South and Midwest has led to rising river levels.
