Mississippi Town Could Be Wiped Entirely Off Map By Flood

On the bloated Mississippi River, the unincorporated town of Tunica Cutoff, Miss., sits an hour’s drive south of Memphis. There was a sense of relief after the river crested in the music city Monday, but it next took aim at the fertile Mississippi Delta — leaving Tunica Cutoff residents wondering if they’ll have a community to return to when the water recedes.

CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann reports that there are about 300 homes in Tunica Cutoff, and they have all been flooded.
