Didn’t Governor Moonbeam just IMPLORE President Trump to pony up some cash for some flooding in his state?

Whose to say that this additional ‘disaster’ isn’t man-made? I mean, he’s a YUGE proponent of the Global Warming SCAM. If man causes it, then all bets are OFF!

FUJB! (FU Jerry Brown!)

Holy crap! I’ve been following this closely and the government said this wasn’t in the cards. So much for government expertise.

Thanks for posting.

I have been keeping up with this on FB. I have never seen so much water power. From seeing that power, I kinda knew the spillway would go. Hope people get out of there safely. God bless them.

There may be a Ray Nagin somewhere in all this mess.

The enviros refused to release water for farmers or city dwellers, saving it for their pet projects. They chose poorly.

Here’s what I posted 72 hours ago.


> Officials Say Dam Is Still Fine

That’s what they always say before the SHTF. Run! Run fast, don’t stop and don’t look back.

“Never trust a government expert. “

You would not evacuate?

According to DNR, WHEN the Emergency spillway collapses, the entire lake will drop 30 FEET.

That’s 1.0 - 2.0 million acre feet.

And more rain coming.
