MEMPHIS, Tenn. --- The threat of more severe weather is bringing back a lot of memories of the flooding of 2011 that left many parts of the Mid-South underwater.  In DeSoto County, Mississippi, worries about storms and possible flooding lead to new precautions being taken to keep people safe, especially in the unincorporated areas. Some homeowners like Belinda and Wallace Blount are a little nervous. "Yeah, we are a little bit worried because behind us, there are some cotton fields back there, and it's already looking like a river," Belinda Blount said. Storms injured 6, hit nearly 80 homes in North MS The potential of rising waters along Highway 61 near Star Landing is why a section of road was partially shut down Friday because of flooding. "That area is a low spot in a low area and water typically flows to that area anyhow, so with the supercell-type storms and storms that developed with a lot of rain and a quick, short period of time, they just create that flash flooding environment," DeSoto County Emergency Services Director Chris Olson said. For many in DeSoto County, talk of rising water brings back memories of 2011. "2011 was a year that brings back a lot," Olson said. "We had a lot of flooding going on, but that was contributed to the Mississippi River being high, Arkabutla (Lake) high, the same rain type of events coming in place. It created some flooding in a lot of areas, and it was standing flooded." Since 2011, many lessons have been learned and efforts made to handle flooding. "Yes, there has been a lot of progressive work on helping to try to clear areas and mitigation things to help relating with ditches, help with related home locations. Try not to allow any building or anything in the line areas, flood zones," Olson said. Steps are being taken as many pray they won't see flooding near their homes. "I'm just praying that it doesn't. If it does, I guess we just have to pack up and just try to go somewhere else," Belinda Blount said. DeSoto County leaders are also urging drivers planning to use Highway 61 and Star Landing not to remove traffic safety cones or drive along areas that have been blocked off.  ...read more read less
