Re: Mississippi in flood
I live about 50 miles from where the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers meet and we still have immense flooding here. There is no telling how long it will be until thousands will be able to return to their homes or if their homes will even be worth saving. Our problem here is the Big Muddy River that meanders throughout the area (and empties into the Mississippi) and is severely backed up and flooded. Many roads are still closed and some schools have been closed for well over a week. Some towns are only accessible by boat right now. Now all that water is making its way south and severely flooding all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. It's really a tough situation, especially for places like Memphis, Tennessee. I'm sitting here wondering....what's next? The lost and found pet ads are up a bit, so I hope that doesn't mean any strong seismic activity may be on the way. That's the LAST thing we all need right now.
