Answer: The statement that is not correct is D. "Louisiana suffered minor damage from the flood." In fact, the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 caused severe and widespread damage in Louisiana, especially in the Mississippi River Delta region. The flooding was extensive and is considered one of the worst natural disasters in the history of the United States. It led to significant loss of property and farmland, with countless homes and businesses destroyed, contributing to a large-scale humanitarian crisis.
