Locally, it's at the flooding stage, where it's covering farm land and creating large pools of water.

Once they let more shite down the river, farm lands will be covered, and roads to and from many of those lands will be under.


Cajun Navy got an ark? The whole Mississippi river region might be under water.

1948, so you are now an expert on how water that far up north will affect the lower Mississippi?

Well, I lived on 2 rivers up north and I saw all the water that finally made it's way down to the Gulf so in a way maybe. The Minnesota river feeds into the Mississippi river. Where does the Mississippi end up?

I even sandbagged to save part of a town.

Are you? Sure seems like all this water ends up down there. If not, tell me where it goes then I will apologize.

Attached YouTube video was done recently by a local woman. She Quotes a cattle farmer who was talking about emergency work corps was doing to ORCS during 2011. Sounded similar to 1973 problems.

Curious to know how Nebraska can see catastrophic flooding but it doesn’t have any effect on Mississippi future levels. Saw pics of a few dams that look like him a bombwent off.

Those are shallow rivers for the most part, but I’ve seen some footage and the Elk and Missouri are high as giraffe nuts.

Missouri at Plattsmouth is projected to break it's record flood by 4'.



Dangerous when a river gets that high above the record, it's guesswork at best how extensive the flooding will be.

I wonder if all the latest snow has added to that already or it has yet to melt?

I know that but I still have about 2' of snow in my yard and had all that rain, etc as they did. There is Still a lot of snow up here to melt.
