Levee Breaks, Threatening Eastern Mo. Homes
Missouri Flood Warning
Missouri Flood Warning
I hope they are safe and can get out, especially since they do not know how fast the water is moving.

| ST. LOUIS - The National Weather Service says a corner of an earthen levee has broken, and officials say the leak will "ultimately inundate" part of an eastern Missouri town. The service said in a flash flood warning issued at 5:55 a.m. Friday that it is unknown how fast the water is moving. It was also uncertain about the condition of the rest of the Pin Oak Levee at Winfield, about 45 miles northwest of St. Louis. The surrounding rural area is also expected to flood. The levee stands between the water and about 100 homes. Officials called for a two-day break in sandbagging on Thursday and Friday, and planned to refresh their sand supply and resume bagging Saturday. |

Warning Flood Missouri
They had a lot of levee breaks already along the mississippi river. This is helping the levees farther south because the river level drops when the river floods the are that was protected by levee breaks. I also remember in 1993 you had some levee breaks that were intentional. Meaning someone went to the levee and caused the levee to fail. Why someone would do that is beyond me. I wonder how many levees that have failed this year were caused by a humans touch?
