Well, this is a really cheerful thought

But the real threat posed by this historic, gathering flood may well lie several hundred miles to the south, where the Mississippi crosses the Louisiana border. There, as the Corps well knows but dare not discuss, this historic flood threatens to overwhelm one of the frailest defenses industrial humanity has offered to preserve its profits from the immutable processes of nature. This flood has the potential to be a mortal blow to the economy of the United States, and outside the Corp of Engineers virtually no one knows why.

A pal who lives in Membabwe was going to take some photos of the river. He says it's impressive.

Just think of all the jobs there'll be, building new port facilities, refineries, rail tracks, grain elevators...
