BREAKING: Army detonates explosives on the Mississippi levees!

The U.S. government on Monday detonated explosives to blow a hole in a flood levee on the Mississippi River and save several towns from being inundated, including Cairo, Illinois. Six plumes of flame rose from the area of the explosion and a loud boom was heard at about 10 p.m. local time, a Reuters journalist near the site of the action said.

By blowing up the levee, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hopes to allow the Mississippi River to cope with the rising waters of the Ohio River, relieving Cairo and other towns threatened with massive flooding. Both rivers have been rising as a result of days of rain and the melt and runoff of heavy winter snowstorms.

But destroying the levee is expected to flood more than 100,000 acres of farmland in Missouri. The state tried unsuccessfully to get several courts, including the Supreme Court, to block the move.

This is big news for anyone in the area, I don't have much to say except I hope you are all safe!

Yeah I have been following this story since yesterday(Sunday) when the US Army Corp literally went in the town of Cairo, forced the entire town to evacuate. They went door to door checking every house. I forget the links right now, but I commented on this and provided links to the actual newspapers of the surrounding area reporting on what was going on.

The newspapers also said the Army had begun planting explosives early Monday AM even though wouldn't be given an answer untill 5 pm in the afternoon on whether or not it would be detonating Birds Point levee located away from the town. What is fishy is that the articles talk about explosives being placed, but the story is talking about Cairo, Ohio. Another newspaper of the area talks about Birds Point, but that it had to wait until 5 pm to begin placing the bombs. It was all very fishy...

Anyways I found out about the story after watching this guys video's on youtube. One is from May 1st, the other from the 2nd. It's pretty impressive how much information he is providing, and that all of it he provides references too - most being from actual US gov sites surprisingly.
