- The 1979 Easter flood was among the most costly and devastating floods ever to occur in Mississippi, with $500–700 million in damages. $1.87 billion in 2020 dollars. It was the result of the Pearl River being overwhelmed by severe rain upstream. Floodwaters sent the Pearl 15 feet above flood stage. More than 17,000 residents of Jackson, Flowood, Pearl, Richland and other Mississippi communities were forced from their homes. The flooding of the Pearl River placed most of the streets of Jackson, the state's capital city, under several feet of water. (en)
