They just blowed the levee at Birds Point, MO!!!
Remember when they blew a levy a Lakeveiw in the 70's and didn't let anyone kow at the ramp. Several came in to find their vehicles with water in em.
I aint too smart, but in the large scheme of things I just dont see it helping that much just putting some other land in the flooding.
The one benefit of flooding that farm land is bringing nutrients back into the land. That's why it's so fertile is from past flooding
You are right there DD, gonna get bad for sure.
I called my family and made an evacuation plan. If it does happen we have about 8 hours to get out of the Delta. We plan to head east and ride it out.
Kinda what I thought...Quote:
