Mississippi River Flood 2011: Downtown Memphis Flooding

This video shows the historic Mississippi River flooding in downtown Memphis on May 5, 2011 along the I-40 Memphis bridge. This was shot six days before the forecasted crest. The levels are the highest of all Mississippi River floods in history -- beyond The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, and well beyond the 1993 Mississippi Flood. Despite the flood levees upstream being blown-up by the Army Corps of Engineers, the waters have continued to rise. No real flood damage in Memphis, but the river's western banks extended into West Memphis, Arkansas shutting down businesses and necessitating evacuation of some residents.

Lets see: Katrina, a real natural disater, strikes and Buch get blamed. Obama floods people out of their homes ON PURPOSE and flies to Ireland and no one in the press bats an eye or questions it. Liberal bias lives on in the press: Thank God for Fox News
