It was a victim of the great compromise.
Perhaps they are having trouble with the concept of accurate reporting due to excesses of the Russian influence in the last election.
On the serious side, in the 93 floods where the river was up for such a long time, we had sand boil problems and alligatoring pavement from hydrostatic pressure near levees in KC.
I ended up re-paving a whole distribution warehouse for Toys R Us as they let trucks run on their pavement during the height of the problem.
East Cape had an increase of 3” of seep water today too.
Flyover country. They assume the illiterate hillbillies won’t fact check them.
When was in the area last week, the local news reported flooding n East Cape Girardeau, IL on highway Illinois 3. 146 connects Illinois to Missouri.

I must have seen a different clip. The reporter stated that the “storm system caused flash flooding in Missouri Monday morning; water pumps in one part of the state could not work fast enough” and the video showed water covering the street in front of the flood gate at N. Water Street and Themis Street in Cape Girardeau.
It’s always interesting to see them mess up something you know something about. I caught this one on a Chicago station. A few years back, a United Methodist minister was tried by a church court for coming out as a lesbian. She was suspended from her church during the trial. She was acqitted, and returned to work. The station reported, “a United Methodist reverend said Mass for the first time in nearly a year.” I wrote to the editor that Methodist “ministers” don’t “say Mass” and he wrote back, admitting to sloppy research. As you say, I now always wonder how much sloppiness is involved in other reporting.
Fake, but accurate.
Floods in flyover country no longer matter.
In fact, I think it went over 100 days above flood stage (at Cape G.?) a couple days ago...?
