Unexcusable they didn’t have the gates open long before in anticipation of the melting snows and spring rains. Even with the excess rains, it shouldn’t have been this bad if they’d managed it better months ago.
Egypt and Libya are know enemies but yet you all still line their pockets for them to be able to send terrorist to our lands to kill..
Great pictures of a horrid flood.
Thanks for this extensive post EV. Prayers up for all affected.
I would guess the answer to both questions is NO. Where are all the demwits who screamed about Katrina, why aren't they condemning Bozo the way they did Bush? I know the answer and as always the propaganda org of the left wing, the MSM, is remaining virtually silent on this disaster to the fly over country.
You have turned your vigilance into action.
These are great pictures of a very bad situation. Mis-management by the corp of engineers or the OBUMMER administration.
Is Epply in risk of flooding or the Industrial park area around it and the power plant?
We have a 3-4 ft plastic covered sand-berm encircling our shop just 10 blocks north of this stadium. Our tool boxes are all on flat bed trailers.
It's all been a lot of work and will be all summer.Lots of nervous people here. Rightly so.
All that water has to go somewhere. Just about the time the water from the May floods along the lower Mississippi Valley recede, they’re going to get it again. The Missouri empties into the Mississippi just above St. Louis.
Prayers, EV
The FEMA buy of freeze-dried food was known at least by Feb 22th.

Checking in from Gretna Nebraska about 14 miles west of the river.
If you check the date on the Picasa site, you will see that those photos were taken a couple of weeks ago. Someone sent me the link to those photos in an email a few days after they were taken. Since then, the Corps has increased the water release rate from Gavins Point. Also got a bunch of rain here Friday night and are awaiting severe storms and tornadoes in the area this afternoon and evening so even more water will be entering the system. It just seems to be getting worse by the day for all the folks and businesses along the Mo.
This is a slow motion disaster that (not suprisingly) is getting minimal coverage from the MSM. There is alot of anger toward the Corps around here (based on what I hear on local talk radio and see in the local media) because of the feeling that environmental concerns trumped flood control and the protection of peoples assets. Typical attitude that birds and fish are more important than the hicks out here in flyover country.
Keep an eye on this, the story will continue to unfold over the next couple of months and the outcome will likely be VERY bad.
Remember this the next time that government wants to close a road or shut down access or stop drilling/mining activity over concerns about man’s impact on the endangered snarfblat.
Thank you for the photos. This is absolutely devastating, and we hear hardly a word about it, except for The Weather Channel.
Where is the Great Leader? When is he going to Nebraska to offer Federal aid...and trailers?
Fuggedaboudit! These are white Christian people. Let them fend for themselves! (/ sarc )
Caused by the EPA who has opened the door for the Soros run ConAgra conglomerate to buy land at firesale prices.
These people should be tried and quickly hanged.
When humankind comes together, uniting their resources to reach a common goal, the results can be spectacular. The people of Omaha, Nebraska, and Council Bluffs, Iowa, demonstrated this in the spring of 1952, when they held back one of the greatest flood ever observed on the Missouri River.
