The impact on the economy will be huge. The Mississippi could be blocked, so barge traffic will be affected. Expect the increased demand on rail freight to affect rates there. Then there is the oil impact. This could be a tremendous shock to the economy. Get ready for long lines at the gas pump, and higher prices for goods.

The Mississippi could flow backwards like is has before and it changed the course of the river.
