@northernKaizer no, sorry, but the pictures of the devastation, the river actually stole the topsoil and carried it downriver to some fucking mississippi or Arkansas Farm... OUR TOPSOIL!

@beatapt5 but there are advantages to this breaching, when they seal the levee back up and the water receeds the land will be very fertile producing better crops so i think in the end it will be beneficial. thats why people farm on flood plains, so much healthier land

@beatapt5 Actually i don't recall the last time they have had a flood. This is all caused by the breaching of the levee.

What happened to the flood of '93 being a "100 year flood'? and now it's not even mentioned.

Now why is this not being reported in the News? All we are hearing is about some DEAD Man that has been DEAD for a long time.

I feel sorry for those folks, but such are the risk of building in a floodplain. There has been a possibility of this taking place since 1927. If not for the levees, this land would flood every spring. You can't control nature.

Un real. Thanks for the birds eye view. Gives me a bit od an idea how bad it really is. Wow.

@sweetdigiscrapsChoosing to breach the levee lowered water from the Ohio 4ft in some areas; catastrophic failure would've destroyed entire towns w/ an amount of water 4ft deep, 1mile wide & 100s of miles long. Remember when the Taum Sauk reservoir in MO failed? Even more people would've been suddenly washed away. Fighting fire w/ fire is never good lest it work.
"Almighty Plan" was tampered w/ long ago when the river basin swamp was drained; if not, permanent settlement here would be impossible.
