To quote those immigrants to the Great Plains..........
"Yah, yah, dats da big vater en dems da breaks"
As an exclusive here..........
As a warning to those folks down south who are flooding already on the Mississippi..........
You ain't seen the end of this yet as the snow pack in the Rockies is just starting to melt and they have had a years worth of rain this month.
I can point you to rivers you have never heard of from the Minnesota, the Whetstone, the Beaver, the the Jim and the ones you have in the Yellowstone, and let you in a little secret no one is talking about in those rivers usually are in the process of turning back into their placid mosquito infested pools by now, but they are still overflowing from Minnesota, to the Dakotas, into Wyoming and Montana.
Why would that mean a thing to folks in Louisiana?
Because baby sister, they all drain into the Mississippi and Missouri river systems.
To put it plainly, those little rivers which no one pays attention to, turn into when combined an equal to the Mississippi.........that is how much water is coming down the pipe yet, with all the other water which has already crested the banks.
I was watching a feed from South Dakota and the western part of me just was so pleased. It was about a Sanchez family who were being lamented by the Tom Daschle and Tim Johnson media out in Sioux Falls in they were being flooded out by the Yellowstone melt coming down the Missouri.
See what interested me was the name Sanchez, as that ain't a South Dakota name. These were those tan Mexicans who rule those dark peons. I would bet they were Californians, who came into cheap land South Dakota, driving out the poor there by raising real estate prices, and just like these bastards have done to Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and Missouri, they are now polluting those states with their high revenue and VOTING FOR OBAMA.
These Sanchez whiners had built a million dollar home below the Missouri River breaks. The wife was on camera bitching that the Obama corp of engineers had said she was fine in no flood would ever hit her home.........and then she was witching about flood insurance as she would have bought that if she had been warned.
Ain't that just sweet?
Oh I suppose you don't get it, so I will explain this one children.
Do South Dakotans build in the damn river bottoms? Hell no!
Why not?
Well because they are not so damn stupid to not look at the Missouri River breaks......the high hills which border all western rivers and not figure out from hard experience that the reason no houses are there, is because the river floods.
Teddy Roosevelts' Elk Horn Ranch was in the bottoms of the Little Missouri River. All went well for his first years out there, but when he was forced out by bad winters which killed all the cattle, one hell of a flood came and wiped out his entire ranch, returning it to nature.
If you look real close at all the ranches and farms in that area of the world, there is not a one of them which is not built on a rise or a hill. It was too much labor to build a home and see it burnt up by heavy lowland grass or flooded out in a big rain.
To further explain what you all had missed in the insurance end, and this really pisses me off considerably, is because ALL of these rich SOB's build in flood plains. They then buy insurance, which in turn costs billions of dollars.
The insurance companies have to pay off, and as they can not print money, they raise rates as they did this spring about a 100 dollars a quarter on people who are poor and are not dumb asses who build in flood plains.
I have seen this time and again, and it happens a great deal in the poor rural states and counties how the poor people build on high enough ground, but the damns on the rivers are not opened up, because "downstream" the millionaires who are building in flood plains buy politicians so they do not get flooded out in places like Minnesota.
This Sanchez outfit from California came into South Dakota, thinking they could steal land, which they did, but they didn't figure out that the majority of rich folks downstream and in the elite areas of the Yellowstone valley would come first.
I honestly hope that the water rises and makes that million dollar home a swamp, and frozen one at that into next winter with some much water, so it drives this ilk back to where it crawled out of in liberalism.
There are 5 major impoundments or damns on the Missouri, and they are full again. If it rains, as I'm betting it is going to as I have watched the pressure charts and if there is wind in April and May ..........well I will let an immigrants daughter tell you the facts.
April blows it's horn good for hay and corn.........
and I would add.....
Wind blows hard in April and May There will be flooding All the summers day.
If you remember the big floods of the 90's down the Mississippi, this is setting up to be such a year, because there is just so much water there running those small systems full, and more water is still coming.
All of this water goes to the Gulf of Mexico and that is where it is headed.
It is though wonderful for waterfowl and the northern pike will have a good spawn as they need highwater into long grass to hatch their babies. It is all part of a nature's cycle and nature has been returning water as it is getting wet on the nothern plains.
You never hear about it, as those people do not matter, but at a place called Devil's Lake in North Dakota, that massive lake has grown something like 3 to 5 times it's size from the 1980's. There are farms under water.
I have seen smaller impoundments I visited as a very little child which now have houses which are part of the lake. I got one report in a county up there, that it is so wet there, that the hills look like islands in the fields.
This is the silent castastrophe which is in that fly over country. They have had massive snows without FEMA, massive flooding without FEMA, massive floods without FEMA and massive rains coming without FEMA.
These people are basically told to fend for themselves.
This blog only reported the year Katrina hit the south, that an even bigger storm struck the upper midwest in a winter blizzard which snapped thousands of miles of electric poles, dumped like 4 feet of snow and ice, and had 20 below weather.
FEMA did a flyover that year of one trip under George W. Bush.
This region has been pounded for two years in massive killer snows, and no one has mentioned it in the press except here.
That water is coming though, just like the water which gained national attention in the Mississippi drainage.
If you build in a river bottom, you deserve to be flooded out, as you are a Darwin candidate, no matter if the Obama regime didn't warn you not to be a dumb ass.
Calimexicans need to stay in California as that is where they belong with all the other Obama dumb asses.
I have always said that American West is still an area where you pay attention to the weather as she will delude you into thinking you are secure and she will kill you. You never trust a forecast, never trust a government idiot telling you something can not happen, because as you look at those river breaks, you know damn well they got 200 feet up there because water was there once.......and where the Missouri was once, she will return to again just when you think she loves you.
