The Levee breached a couple hours ago parts of downtown have been under water 56 days now, but now it's bad they say it could be another month of flood level waters due to snow melt lakes thawing plus it dumped rain on us all day pretty messed up but most of the cities that are on the old Mississippi have been experiencing this for weeks.

    Sorry to here this.

    The news I've seen on TV are more worried about this frikn next presidential election than a flood catastrophe in our heartland! >:)

    I haven't even seen it on my PC's start-up news page.

    I'll read your links in the morning.

    Hope you stay dry and prayers go out to you and your neibors and everybody else affected by these rising water catastrophes. :'(

    After reading about Iowa, I read a story about the just completed levies in New Orleans are already sinking.

    I feel for our neighbors in Iowa :/ We had another 3" of rain last night in Central Missouri, the Missouri River is a big problem with the flow of the Mississippi River.

    All the Levees, Locks/Dams and Flood Control just can't deal with Mother Nature.

    Just one Dam failure on the Mississippi and the biggest part of St. Louis and many other towns, will be history.

    The more they try and control these mighty rivers, the bigger the catastrophe they cause. They can work for a little while, but the river will always win.

    Take a listen to Bob Dylan's "High Water" - and try to imagine what it was like before the dams and levees, as difficult as it sometimes seems now it was multitudes worse when they had major floods before. But the song is about more than flooding, its about the other high water that's everywhere these days

    Happens too often there and here. Down my way the Illinois river is very high and over its banks as well. Parts of east Peoria is toast as well. Ours is not as bad as that but large insurance claims non the less

    I was going to mention that again in the post just a minute ago. All I hear is a bunch of political childish, lunatic moronic BS from Dems and their MSM backers.

    I agree, they ignore the border invasion and now the midwestern tragedy happening for weeks now. I haven't heard about it except when I go to the Weather Channel.

    CRAZY SAD! :s
