More Bad Flood News...
Ugh.
Of course, if you're like Rush Limbaugh you can believe in the Power of Racism and declare victory in the War on Mother Nature (if only Rush knew the truth).
The Mississippi River claimed new tracts of farmland overnight north of St. Louis, Missouri, as officials warned the swollen river could breach four or five more levees Thursday around the Gateway City.
About 11 levees have been breached in the St. Louis area since the flooding began, Officer Alan Dooly of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-St. Louis District said.
St. Louis' woes add to the growing number of levee breaches that have been occurring from Iowa to Missouri since the flooding started last week, according to the Corps of Engineers.
Overnight, the Mississippi River cut a 150-foot breach through a levee in Winfield, Missouri, sending floodwaters racing toward a secondary levee.
Of course, if you're like Rush Limbaugh you can believe in the Power of Racism and declare victory in the War on Mother Nature (if only Rush knew the truth).
