11 Miles of the Mississippi River closed due to low water

As the drought continues over much of the west, the river at Greenville Mississippi has been closed to boat traffic like it was in 1988. The Corps of Engineers is surveying for dredging and they're moving channel markers because boats have been running aground.

It has intermittantly been closed for 9 days. There's over 100 boats waiting to traverse the river.

It's pretty bad when the mighty Mississippi runs low on water.

amazing, just last year we were flooding like the great flood.

think they could use thier cloud seeding for good use for once.

thats bad. we are frying over here and the other half of the world is flooding.

This may be the end of the world as we know it.

Why don't they just put more water in the river? 2/3 of the planet is water.

Why do I have to think of every thing?

Check this animation out. There ain't as much water as you think.

People are made up of roughly 70% water.

Why not drain the water from useless people. ie: convicts, welfare recipients, illegal aliens, muslims.................and put that water in the river. Problem solved.
