Coast residents prepare for river flooding

When the Tchoutacabouffa River rises, Biloxi residents living at Wells Ferry Landing take action.

After days of heavy rainfall, it’s not an uncommon sight to see cars lining Highway 67 near James Brandon Road.

News 25 spoke to a few residents checking on their cars one last time before calling it a night.

Steve Shireman has lived in the area since the 80s and is all too familiar with the vehicle moving routine. “We’ve seen people lose their cars before, sleep through the middle of the night and get caught. It only takes one time and you learn your lesson.”

Shireman says you have to take the good with the bad, some years there’s more moving than others.
