This just in
« on: March 15, 2012, 10:39:32 PM »
FLASH!

According to USA Today ( http://www.usatoday.com/weather/floods/story/2012-03-14/spring-flood-risk/53552372/1?csp=24&kjnd=3shjf20vlg1ipR3IEV%2BFAB9OfHYszjcrg6yOD%2BCD7NKxfG9SdcBaAxLuevOaUPY%2F-675c76bf-7e9c-4adc-b0e8-ea3a58566016_6l%2Bl6toCBnB0FAeJ0h81O%2BJIdBy0TL1jmOCZV%2Ff9JD3mI%2BSTytSWnsaK3GcFTnxa ), risk of flooding is associated with high river levels.

Quote
The other area where flooding is possible this spring is in the lower Mississippi River Valley, along tributaries of the river in Louisiana and Mississippi.

The risk of flooding is a concern in those areas because of unusually high levels of soil moisture, coupled with high river levels.

Thanks, USA Today. If I hadn't read this article, I might never have known that.

The EPA should severely restrict dihydrogen monoxide. We allow far too much of it to enter our waterways and this is the result.  DHMO is a known killer. Everyone who has ever died of cancer has ingested DHMO.

So if they would just lower those river levels, there wouldn't be any flooding.

Well, I'll be damned! So they infer that there is a correlation between heavy rain and flooding.

You learn something new everyday!  :facepalm:

The first half of the article says that the flood risk is lower than usual this year. So when he points out two areas that are at risk, he's just giving a reason why people are concerned about those two areas. Which kinda makes sense, don't it?

So, they are covering their bases in case of either drought, flooding, or neither.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
