Watched their "fireworks" on tv this morning.  Pray that their plan backfires.

OK, well it's just a matter of time now with the pressure on top the New Madrid Faultline from the weight of the flood waters being released from the blown levee. 130,000 acres will be flooded.. Now we know their plan and the reason for FEMA preperations:

They've gotta wipe out remaining food sources, right?

Something compelled me to look up the etymology of the name "Cairo"... look what I found:

Cairo

city in Egypt, named 973 C.E., Arabic al-Kahira "the strong." The Egyptian name was said to be khere-ohe "place of combat," said to be in ref. to a battle between the gods Seth and Horus that took place here.

"The Corps plans to decide this weekend whether to blow up the Birds Point levee, depending on the level of water in the river. It will detonate explosives in the levee if the Cairo river reaches 61 feet. At 8 a.m. local time on Friday, it was at 59 feet and was forecast to rise to 60.5 feet, according to the National Weather Service."

 

So if the river rises to 61 feet, then is it more important to save a town, or to flood acres of farmland?

The whole thing sounds fishy to me.

Let's hope so.  It doesn't make sense.

I wonder if they will be able to stop it.
