We need a Lancaster bomber for this detail.
Wow, could this turn into another ‘93? Remember standing on the flood wall at Hannibal, BGH?
Upon further reading, I see it’s the Army Corps of Engineers.
A branch of the governmental terrorist bureau!!!
There’s nothing to relax about. I bet you don’t farm do you?
Not currently, but I grew up on one that fed us and several neighbors. I know all about the farming.
Bet you don't live in town where the water is destroying homes and businesses, do you?
Why didn’t they just call President Bush? According to the left he blew up the New Orleans levee himself. Of course high explosives are more exciting.
Cairo is projected to break the old flood level of 59.50 feet set in 1937. Having both the Ohio river and the Mississippi river at major flood stage at the same time last happened about 20 years ago.

Indeed!
“Reading the title, I figured it was terrorists”....
Me too! Glad I read the fine print...what a misleading headline...geez!
With a Wallis bomb?
Meanwhile, we can’t get rain in West Texas. Only 0.20 of an inch of rain in 7 months.
I just about can’t take this weather anymore, nor the fire and smoke coming with it.
It is dry here, but it’s not supposed to be this dry. I miss Kansas spring rains ridiculously right now.
bye bye Ms American Pie
Drove a POS Chevy to the levee but the levee was
KABOOOOOMMM!
This is ridiculous if the goal is to “save” Cairo, Il. I would not trade one Charleston, Bertrand, or Sikeston, Mo. for TEN Cairos. Typical C of E idiocy if this is the stated goal.
Upon further reading, I see it’s the Army Corps of Engineers. To hear the liberals and media tell it during the Bush/Katrina crisis, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.
You don’t live here - I do - and that settles it for me.
I thought Rumsfeld helped him while Cheney stayed behind in DC to run the weather machine.
And those same liberals and media will consider this proof that Dick Cheney dynamited the levees in Nawlins.
Hmmm. A large barge full of explosives - Sounds like Rosie O’Donnell wearing an explosives vest floating down the Mississippi.
First thing that came to my mind. Spike Lee is furiously taking notes right now, LOL.
