The nation really needs to be focussing on what is happening right now in the center of the United States. The news media is not giving near enough information on this.

Pretty spooky stuff. My girlfriend is from NB and her family is quite concerned. That is ALOT of water, and if one of those structures lets go - it won't be good at all.

What did the interviewee say "...probable man made disaster of epic proportions... biggest flood ever to hit St Louis...". I sure hope those hydrologists are smart enough to handle this, and those structures hold up.

I guess not!

I was under the impression that everything was OK now?

I must have gotten some misinformation.

You are absolutely right Mr. Penry. There are also some nuclear facilities that are in a bad way right now. Here is info on that aspect of what's happening at one of them.

Flooding in New Brunswick?

I did not hear them mention anything about the possible Missouri River disaster affecting NB (New Brunswick). That would truly be biblical proportions! 😉

Nebraska (NE) certainly would be affected - the two nuclear generating stations along the Missouri have been getting a lot of national attention lately.
