Weaponized Weather Modification !!!!
Well isn't this peculiar, it wasn't very long ago the Mississippi River was at insanely low levels ……..
Thoughts n prayers ya'll don't worry them are angel tears your swimming in. just think of it as a holy baptism your treading..and no federal relief for ya'll but don't worry atleast you have your 2nd amendment still
Ya gotta love the use of exaggerated dramatic words………saying Half a century sounds more dramatic than 50 years 😅………. drama drama drama…….. fkn lame stream media 🖕
Unfortunately, this type of weather variability and severity is likely to become fairly routine over the next 10-20yrs as climate change really starts to bite. Try getting affordable insurance, either domestic, commercial, or industrial then. In some cases, people may find that no insurer is willing to carry that policy due to historical weather related disasters.
Climate change isn't just weird weather patterns; its the knock-on effects that really matter, something many people fail to grasp, even now.
Its not rocket Science, every ag field in Minnesota. Iowa and Wisconsin is tilled out. Yet is still continues to be legal while causing all this destruction down river.
Just another year ,it isn't even close the record in St.Paul …1965…flood levels.
River was drying up in summer and now it's flooding people.out of their homes.
Snow is swallowing up towns in west coast.
Hmmmm…..wonder how bad the hurricane season will be this summer…🙏
It's too low ,it's too high,, it's too low ,it's too high,, holy crap,,, we're all gonna die🤪🤯
It’s lnwp
I remember flooding so bad it changed the course of the river in places.
Plain and simple If you build on a flood plain you will get flooded.
from drought to flood feast or famine
Is this the same Mississippi river that they said was "drying" up due to climate change? Lol
WARNING The GOP has no climate change policy. What are criminal corporate leaders and politicians doing in response to the worsening IPCC #ClimateChange WARNINGS?
Should #ClimateCriminals be prosecuted for env and HR atrocites acts of ecocide?
Find our about the campaign to prosecute ecocide at Stop Ecocide International
Last year barges were stuck
You'd really think you wouldn't build a house or a town right next to one of the largest rivers on the continent that drains enormous area's and is prone to flooding……
I wouldnt be standing in that water, in the back of my mind there is crocodiles in the water
Same flood plains that have been immersed many many times. Who could have ever guessed it would happen again?
We must stop adding more fossil fuels to the Climate Fire.
Floods, droughts, fires, extreme temperatures are all becoming more common.
Time to go all in on wind and solar energy and all electric vehicles.
How extreme does the weather have to get before people wake up and stop burning fossil fuels.
Oh well. Yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah who cares!
Interesting. Mother nature balances itself out again. No EVs with Chinese made batteries necessary.
Yes, snow does melt. And the Mississippi floods every year. How about report on whats going on in the white house.
Quad Cities bad news
I grew up in Illinois. The Mississippi river has flooded over it's banks numerous times in my life. This isn't historic, it happens frequently.
The landscape will change accros the globe…its inevitable
Lestine, when your definition of history is as long as your finger, of course, it is historical!
No, got to be false news. That sort of thing could only happen if Global warming was real and not as the GOP, Trump, his followers and the oil industry insist "fake news!"
Global warming. Nooooo we need more money to make it snow less during this global warming. Nooo help us bill gates.
Huh and no one saw this coming this year. Lol lol we had record snow when it meets you k ow what happens.
Another news reporter bought-and-paid-for by JB
What climate change?? 😂
Why do humanoids like building on dry river beds ?
Well its not drying up no more. Hoping the people get to safety.
This is what WW3 looks like. No soldiers or bombs, just weather manipulation, to begin with.
Wait, just the other day I thought the Mississippi was at the lowest levels of all time?!?!? Now it's flooding! Mother nature needs to take her meds!
First Mississippi River is too low, now flooding! I guess Al Gore is getting the last laugh!
lol they got that lady standing in the water for the report lol hilarious. She probably walked 3 feet to the rightt where it was completely dry
Depopulation Weather ! Call your local congressman and H.A.R.P. at them about the weather !
Do you think you have anything to do here? Yes. You have to repent. You have come back to Jesus, your Boss.
Why is everyone complaining about floods???? U all been begging for water for years Christ sake
If the National Water Network was in place, the system would kick in and pump water from over 100 locations along the Mississippi River to dry regions far away from the river. A lot of the water would be pumped into the Ogallala Aquifer. As soon as things were stabilized, the system would shut down and the river would return to normal. They have worked on the concept for 10 years and sooner or later it will be deemed as a good idea. It only seems like a good idea when it is flooding and it does not flood that often. Sorry for the peoples losses.
