So should little obamaville Cairo.
Blow up a levee on the Missouri side to save Illinois property? It makes no sense at all.
Now that makes sense.
Might take out Paducah and Cairo, and could provide enough extra flow to back up the Mississippi enough so it overtops the levees in Missouri.
The problem with blowing up levees is that defeats the earlier comprehensive designs. No one knows what is going to happen but if it endangers Indiana I don't want you doing it, ya hear?!
