Anonymous Coward User ID: 20586262 United States 08/30/2012 10:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was just saying to my wife, watch this storm drop rain up the Mississippi valley. Causing flood concerns for days and it all ends up back near NOLA. Quoting: --Voltaic-- Only blessing is the lack of rain in the mid states will help absorb the initial rain fall. That's probably what is going to happen |

Quite the opposite actually. Dry ground doesn't soak up water as fast as moist ground. It's like when you put a dry rag under the faucet. It beads up at first. Deserts are the same...flash floods happen at super speed in the desert. Initially, it will be very bad if they don't get some light rain to dampen things up before hand. |
