Flooding on the Mississippi and the Missouri

Flooding for the last month has ravaged the Mississippi River and now reports of possible flooding on the Missouri River has made the author think about pass floods. This week we will look at the floods on the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. For post on the Missouri River you can check on our sister blog The Angry River Rat or other sources like the Pierre Capital Journal, and for Mississippi flooding check out Shreveport Times .
Floods are important to recharge ecosystems, but sometimes they cause damage and destruction. Our thoughts go out to the flood victims and their families.

Ranging from was this legal; to why no one knew he was in a comfy suburb of Pakistan? We hope to get our posts up ASAP. Stay tuned and give us feed back on what we should look into?
