Mississippi River Flooding
Consumer Advocate
If levees stop floods, why is Mississippi’s batture still flooded?
“It’s still flooding in Mississippi – more frequent, longer, higher floods”. Is this the new normal?
Mississippi River Commission Testimony: Kelley Williams in Lake Providence Apr 2016
I think floods are acts of God and politicians. God sends the rain. Politicians decide who gets flooded.
Mississippi River Whack-a-Mole
Whack-a-mole… a metaphor for Mississippi River floods and efforts by the Levee Board and the Corps of Engineers to whack the levee breaches, sand boils, back water floods, and so on that keep popping up.
More flood for less rain.
Who can get the Corps attention and make this happen? Hello, Mississippi senators, congressmen, governor, and legislators. Who can encourage them? Hello, hunters, farmers, and landowners and the businesses that depend on them.
