Court OK’s blasting of levee in Missouri
David Mercer, Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A federal appeals court cleared the way yesterday for the Army Corps of Engineers to blow a hole through a levee along the Mississippi River in Missouri to try to prevent flooding in a small Illinois town.

The Eighth US Circuit Court of Appeals decided not to overturn a judge’s decision that allows the Corps of Engineers to use explosives to breach the Birds Point levee downstream from Cairo, a town at the southern tip of Illinois near the Missouri border.

The ruling was the second setback in two days for Missouri, which asked the court to block the plan because it could flood about 130,000 acres of farmland. Hundreds of people have already been evacuated from the area. . . .

Really, blowing a levee and flooding farmland to save real estate?  Evacuate the town, save the crops. 

Hello to CB and raising a glass to others MIA - cheers!

Guess it's 'just us chickens' now...and we will carry on. 

They've blown it (the levy that is, time will tell on the earthquake potential there).

One woman's take on Ure's research on this:

Thanks George! at www.urbansurvival.com

The weight of the water is one concern.  Also factoring in is dilitancy, the ability of rocks to absorb water and the fracturing that happens as they do so.

Frankly Scarlett, this is a very risky move.

And I still vote for crops over real estate.

Patriotspace has had this video for a while about HAARP and New Madrid

And just like the elites, they show movies of their plans and blast us with TV shows about things before they happen. Here is the latest NEW MADRID terror video on PBS being shown this Spring:

I haven't viewed all of the above yet, but the PBS iNew Madrid terror video sounds like it might be interesting to some people here.
