Mississippi tributaries flowing backwards (flooding)

[Kim B]

Gene Rench with the National Weather Service said all eyes are on the Mississippi. The tributaries flowing backwards are a big problem for the adjacent communities.

"Right now the Mississippi river is in the process of going through what we call an epic flood, meaning it's more than historic, it's more than a 100 year flood, it's more like a 500 year flood," he said. "We could flood many homes, businesses, close down factories, people could drown."

The river is more than two feet past flood stage; it rose two feet in the 24 hours following the storms. It's expected to crest at 45 feet around May 10th, right when Barbecue Festival teams are setting up their tents.

Memphis in May's Diane Hampton said they can deal with the forecasted 45 foot river. "At that point Tom Lee Park is not underwater; it's very close, but it's not flooded."

It may be sooner than that DesertRose. I have work on a research paper just of the same subject. I need to finish it first. It is all in the root system. More on this later.

Yes  I  have  noticed  that  some  speak  about  tributaries,  but  I  ran  across a  news report  and  I  cannot  remember  where  :( sowwy.  It  stated  that  it  was  the  M River  that  was  indeed  flowing  backwards.  It  got me  to  wondering  about the  Tritium and  the  flood waters from the  blasted  levee.  With a  half life of  12.5  years  we  are  talking  about  at  least  25 years  before  that  soil  will be safe  to  plant.  Over  130,000 acres of ruined farmland that the  US  will need  to  feed  people  in the  coming famine.  Way  to  hide  behind  an  accident to accomplish a  eugenics program.......

LOL,  spot  on  Cheryl !!

When business and profit are put before people, I get a little sarcastic...

Our Mammon, who art on Wall Street, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is on Wall Street. 
Give us this day our daily dividends and coverup our trespasses as we shift blame elsewhere. 
Lead us not into bad investments, and deliver us from the evil of a poorly performing portfolio. 
For thine is the money and the power and the glory forever.

DR, I read yesterday it's the tributaries flowing backwards:

http://www.myfoxmemphis.com/dpp/weather/all-eyes-on-the-mississippi...

"MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Mississippi River continues to rise, so much so that its tributaries are starting to flow backwards."

But I looked further, and these articles say it's the other way around, that the Miss is flowing backwards into the tributaries.

"The Mississippi River is so swollen that it's flowing backward into the White and Black rivers."

http://www.kait8.com/story/14564248/mississippi-river-water-backflo...

"Part of the problem is that the Mississippi River is so high that it is flowing backward into the White and Black rivers."

Kim note, the same article says:  "The National Weather Service in North Little Rock said Tuesday that the Mississippi may not crest for a week, which will keep pressure on flooded rivers and streams in the state's east."

Memphis as we speak is being inundated.  The river crest is happening tonight, much sooner than what they predicted.  Wonder if this will be breaking flooding records there.

Hey  wait a  minute!  I thought  the  title  was  just  and  inference  to  what  had  occurred in  1811-12 as  Cheryl  stated.  However , watching a report about the Mississippi River  they  have  stated  that  it  is  indeed  flowing  backwards.  Wouldn't that  mean t hat  the  Tritium dumped into the  river would have  also  flowed  north?

[desertrose]

I  was  thinking  about that  earlier  today ,  Cheryl.  In  either  case  the  radioactive  water is  definitely  here in the  south and the Gulf  already.  Lucky  us .....NOT!

The Mississippi River flowed backwards in 1811-12, during the New Madrid earthquake.  If another large quake were to occur, then the nuclear contamination could, potentially, show up in the flooded fields, especially if any reactor is damaged along the way.
