Not sure of size of break.
Manchester said the extent of the breach likely wouldn't be clear until daybreak.

This from someone that thinks nuclear power is safe even after Fukushima and Chernobyl. Hey Nosred have you bought your plane ticket to either of the exclusion zones yet? Lots of prime "safe" land there, you can live like a king!

Go to this link at MapQuest:

1. Click on Satellite (top/right.)
2. Click the Zoom-In Plus (+) sign about 5 times.
3. Click & Drag the map downwards, to follow the river North. (You'll start to see lots of flooding)
4. When you see Atchison/Nemaha (counties I think) labeled in the middle of the river, look just to the left. I think you can actually see the 'breech.'
ETA: You will see the Atchison/Nemaha label several times before you see it next to the 'breech' I just realized!edit on 6/23/2011 by new_here because: (no reason given)

Is there a reason, with as many flags and stars this threads recieved, that this isn't up on any of the New Topic streams?
A levee three miles north of Brownville in Missouri failed at about 9 p.m. Thursday, right in front a pair of people patrolling there. "It happened so quick that they were concerned that they may not be able to escape," Mark Manchester, deputy emergency management director for Atchison County, Mo., said late Thursday. "The water was coming through fast and hard. … We're not sure what the size of the break is so far." Officials have ordered the evacuation of all of the county west of Interstate 29, he said. That includes the towns of Phelps City, Langdon and Watson, as well as the Nishnabotna Conservation Area. Manchester said the extent of the breach likely wouldn't be clear until daybreak.

OP, you should edit the title of the thread. It's Brownville not Brownsville. Could be the problem with people searching it out on Google and such.

Like I've said countless times, neither Chernobyl nor Fukushima were modern nuclear reactors and neither were up to safety standards. Both disasters could have been averted if proper safety measures had been taken.
