Let's Hope This...

...doesn't happen. I haven't been following the flooding along the Missouri like I should have- but if this guy is right, then there could be a very big problem down in the Show-Me State once all the water that's currently working it's way through Western Iowa gets down there.

Problem is that you just don't hear about flooding along the Missouri the way you do the Mississippi. I get the feeling that it's probably the less travelled waterway and the system of reservoirs that this guy describes seem to have done their job quite well. Though I do think you should probably open your floodgates more than once every 50 years, just to make sure they work properly. Or is that an unreasonable thing to ask?

Anyway: here's hoping this guy is wrong.
