"The East and West Levee Systems were originally completed in 1932 and upgraded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950s."

“In 1815 the Los Angeles River floods washed away the original Pueblo de Los Angeles.”
“The 1914 flood caused $10 million in damages throughout the developing basin and brought a public outcry for action to address the recurrent flooding problems.”
“After two more destructive floods in the 1930s, Federal assistance was requested and the Army Corps of Engineers took a lead role in channelizing the River. Channelization began in 1938, and by 1960, the project was completed to form a fifty-one mile engineered waterway.”

“engineered waterway”
I guess that’s one way to describe a massive cement eyesore.
Thanks, Gran!
Watching/waiting, on RSBN, now.
They did that with Omaha back in the 1950s so its a bottleneck on the Missouri River. Anytime there is too much water, snow in the Dakota’s, Omaha & Council Bluffs, IA end up flooding. The Loess Hills are 2-5 miles from the river because the river was wide & shallow until it was “fixed” for barge traffic.
We fished the Missouri River up in South Dakota and it was beautiful. You could see the bottom of the river. Come to Omaha and its muddy. I cringe when I see people take their kids water skiing on it. The danger of hitting a tree or body is high.
The Big Muddy is muddy
President Trump had landed in Texas.
Up in South Dakota its beautiful.
Caught both Cornyn & Cruz deplaning AF1
🥰Thanks so much, Lakeside Granny.
Hi all
RAV has the charlie kirk show on right now, but they’ve had a little window inset that has been showing the progress of Trump’s trip.
They were showing the helicopters and ospreys lifting off a moment ago, and I think they will break away for more coverage when Trump is back down and it’s available.
RAV regular 24 hr stream, which may change later

This is a news station that carried some of Trump’s arrival before he left to view the flooded areas

Has the leftist press started squawking and feigning outrage because it’s taken him a week to get there? (of course, if he’d gone sooner, they’d have accused him of hampering rescue efforts.)
I can’t stay up that late.

Exactly.
He knows he can’t win with them, so he sets his own agenda and thumbs his nose at their stupidity.
