Drove the I-29 just hours ago. It is a detour. Just wild to see the water. Did not get to see much underwater, still got to see railroad tracks, motel wendy’s with water to the window level. Was driving the detour so didn’t see much.
Isn’t there a way for first, everyone in the Midwest and I mean everyone, to know this, and second, absolutely refuse to sell to anyone or anything that is even remotely connected to Soros or one of his fronts.
You going to pay their mortgages? When people are wiped out, there are no choices. Famine, flood, war.
This is a flood-war.
"I took these pictures of the Missouri River Flood of 2011 and I would like to share them with anyone interested or with anyone that would like to reprint them. The area I cover is from Gavin's Point Dam, South Dakota to Hamburg, Iowa. If you feel they were worth something please donate to the Red Cross or other flood relief organization that will help the people affected by this disaster.Many not know this but 'Larry' has a copyright on all these photos, though it is not explicitly stated. Yet he is relinquishing his Copyright Ownership Rights, putting these out for 'fair use' and just asking that folks donate to the Red Cross and other agencies if they 'steel his work product' (photos).
That's pretty big of him, and generous.
(1) The photos though 'stunning looking' are pretty average. They look 'stunning' as they're aerial shots, so 'anyone' could have duplicated them. And his Camera really got slammed, a Sony Alpha DSLR-A330, in the reviews when it was announced in May, 2009: "...the A330 is an unremarkable upgrade to the A300". OUCH!
(The 'older', 2008, Sony Alpha A200 is just as good. And less expensive.)
NOTE: No personal offense is meant.
'Steel', should be 'Steal'.
I thought that was remarkable as well.
Long live the citizen media!
I wonder if the Steamship Bertrand is back under water after all these years. :-(
I’m not sure which direction it is, although I’m guessing it is looking south.
It’s hard to say, though. It was after ‘52 that they began to channelize the river, so things changed a bunch.
