Dozens of seniors were evacuated Wednesday from the Peach Tree Village assisted living facility in Brandon, Mississippi, just outside of Jackson, after fast-moving waters rose halfway up the doors, officials said. Firefighters pulled residents to safety by using ropes to cross the waist-deep waters.

Flood watches remain in effect across the Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida.
Some of the heaviest rain Thursday afternoon is moving into southern Mississippi, Mobile and Pensacola, where rainfall rates are climbing to 2 to 3 inches per hour. That rain is hitting some spots that were already drenched by 6 inches of rain on Wednesday.
Caution: Highway 489 in Newton County near Marrow Road will be closed until further notice. The highway is completely washed away due to flood water. Seek an alternate route until further notice. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ pic.twitter.com/TIeYilki8G
