Another River Topic
Posted: Sun Jul 19, 2015 8:47 pm
I chose just to start another thread since its slightly different subject
If I'm not mistaken (Its been about ten years since I read Rising Tide) wasnt the precursor to the 1927 Flood an abnormally wet summer and winter in the year before? Are we seeing what could setup to be a more potentially dangerous situation that what we saw in 2011? I believe it is. If rains up north continue into winter even a little above average then I think the river could be extremely high once again.
Also, do you think the Levees will break again? I do. Its not that our Engineers aren't good because I believe they are, but I also believe that Mother Nature will never be defeated in the long term.
