The storm

[Larryjk]

I realize "Irene" was a hurricane that affected a large number of people. But the Missouri River from the NW end of South Dakota to its confluence with the Mississippi has been flooding SINCE JUNE and will continue flooding into OCTOBER. You can't even find that story on the news; only by googling Missouri Flooding. Since June the Corps of Engineers (administrators of the Missouri dams) has been letting 150,000 cubic feet of water per MINUTE out the gates of the dams, flooding everything between the dams. Those folks have lost all production for the yeaar on their farms and cannot live in their homes. But not a word on the news. I guess it is because they are used to wiping their own behind.
