Lady Ivory (OP) User ID: 1217642 United States 06/11/2011 08:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - An expert on Missouri River reservoirs is sounding a very loud, very urgent warning about the chance of catastrophic flooding this summer. Bernard Shanks, an adviser to the Resource Renewal Institute, says the Fort Peck Dam and five others along the Missouri are already full with the Army Corps of Engineers releasing record amounts of water to prepare for snow-melt and heavy rain up-river. There would be a flood like you’ve never seen,” Shanks told hosts Doug McElvein and Debbie Monterrey. “It would be literally of biblical proportions.” He foresees a very real threat of “chest-high” water in St. Louis before summer’s end. Shanks’ main concern: that the Fort Peck dam, which he maintains is built with a “flawed design”, would be overwhelmed by snow-melt and heavy rains up north and give way, causing reservoirs downstream to collapse in a domino effect. If that happens? “It would be the most epic man-made disaster in the United States,” Shanks replied bluntly.

I know..there has to be a way out of this ..but what! They are letting as much water out as they can..if the Fort Peck Dam goes..its going to be a domino effect.
