Nature scrubbing the parasites off its back

Thank you, you were so kind to answer my question. I pray for all that will be in the direct line of this flooding. GOD bless you and again thanks!

yes becuase one didnt die for years later and ones bee dead for 10 years but you cant deny the significance of the dates they chose to say these people died.

well...jimmy page played the guitar on that song, yea.

Yes, and surprisingly it seems that few people are aware of this. It is inevitable that the river takes the Atchafalaya cutoff route to the Gulf. When it does it seals the fate of the Delta and New Orleans, they will wash away as the silt will no longer be deposited.

Are we about to see this mega historic event?

Your right the atchafalaya river facts are very much a local knowledge.....its been talked about decades in louisiana but not much elsewhere.I saw a documentry one time that said its only a matter of time before it takes over the mississippi...the corp has done a good job but somehtings are innevitable.

its much older than that recycled piece of shit crap zeppelin called a song

I thought somewhere near new orleans, that there was a nuclear plant that was 1 of 5 in the US on an earthquake zone.? I'm pretty sure it was near there, but definitly in Louisiana

no nukes anywhere close here in Memphis

truth

I didn't know that, but now I found this link which seems to describe the situation:

this tells the complete story with pictures

OP was right on with the concern for what could happen

In the aftermath of the huge floods that would cause the main flow of the river to jump to the Atchafalaya River, aside from the cost, anxiety, tragedy, and aggravation of dealing with massive amounts of water being in the wrong place, there would be lingering issues that would change the way of life on the lower Mississippi. Instead of 70% flow down the lower Mississippi and 30% flow down the Atchafalaya, the percentages would probably reverse. The Atchafalaya would be a rushing, raging river, even during the fall for a period of time until it scoured the channel and filled in the lower reaches so that the flow would diminish. Morgan City would have to be relocated, as would other communities and many businesses, possibly including the massive infrastructure of the offshore oil and gas industry. Fisheries would be altered measurably all across the delta. Oyster reefs would be immediately destroyed, and would take several years to reestablish and become productive (no erysters!). It would probably take two decades to adapt to the new environment around present day Morgan City. Additionally, pipelines, bridges, and the like that cross the Atchafalaya would be destroyed or rendered unsafe. The ruptured natural gas pipelines would place stress on fuel supplies for energy companies, but they would quickly change to more costly fuel sources and have little or no interruption of service. Imagine the traffic jams when and if bridges on I-10, U.S. 90, and U.S. 190 collapse (what about the railroads)? All trans-state traffic would have to be rerouted to I-20 via I-55 through Jackson, Mississippi, adding up to 615 miles to the trip (not to mention time delays from the traffic jams). The protective levees of the Atchafalaya Basin would have to be upgraded to handle the new pressure from spring flows. And, oh my gosh, think of the negative impact on the crawfish supply!

All of this adjustment, and we have not delved into the intensity of impact on people's lives during the crisis and the adjustment period. All normal routines would stop. Businesses would be closed, as would schools, normal government, etc., etc. Virtually the entire population would spend months and months just coping - just putting their and others' lives back together. Imagine the emotional strain to the population - people losing a lifetime of accomplishment. This would be a tragedy of monumental proportions. It would interrupt life much like World War II.

One can also imagine the impact on the nation. Massive use of Federal dollars to protect and restore Louisiana's infrastructure. Loss of natural gas (there would be brown-outs throughout the eastern seaboard). Commerce would be interrupted by restriction of travel and Louisiana=s inability to focus on supplying items traditionally demanded from her natural resources by the nation. Prices of all Louisiana products (from the natural resources [fisheries, oil, gas] to industrial products [poly vinyl chloride, polyethelene, etc.]) would soar. The interruption of the pogie fisheries would be very negative for such food industries as chicken, catfish, and hogs (see the last section of the notes). New Orleans is one of the most important ports in the nation, and it would suddenly cease to function; all shipping and related industries on the Mississippi River would stop. International trade would be further imbalanced. The massive fertilizer business would shut down and the agriculture industry would falter.

Thanks for that link, Ice. Very interesting!

I wouldn't want to be living in New Orleans or anywhere else in that area.

wow last image is amazing, what they design to make the MS River squared by flooding large parts of cities

this is the problem

the Mississippi river wants to take the path

straight to the Gulf

My God!!!

i need to find the map that shows where the blue holes are in this river area...do you have it? i have so many bookmarks and such it's retarded. at some point i'll have to dig it all out again i guess.

It seems the Army Corps of Engineers is reducing its commitment to the Mississippi and letting the river straighten out. If they're letting it flood from above Cairo IL straight to New Madrid MO, that's a big straightening. If it goes down the Atchafalaya, that's another straightening.

As with much built up structures, it seems the US government is forcing a return to nature. Let nature take its course. Similarly, we are no longer allowed to drain wetlands or divert water from them. Don't even emit CO2, virtually the most common molecule there is, into the atmosphere. Don't smoke outdoors in NYC. And so on.

I don't see any engineering sense to what they are doing on the Mississippi. Seems more like a different agenda.

God you americans panic over everthing, there is nothing going to happen at all your just panicking for nothing as usual like you alwsy do, you will be tellin me next that osama was really killed a few days ago, morons.
WHEN BUGGER ALL HAPPEN TODAY OR TOMORROW COME BACK AND SAY SORRY , GOD YOUR SUCH MORONS.

You don't control the river. It controls you.
