| Re: Flooding
There is an emergency 6 ft. high dam that was installed on Saylorville Lake's emergency spillway. The Corps raised it yesterday to give those down the Des Moines River another 24 hours to prepare for flooding, and it's been announced that they're slowly going to lower it to prevent damage to it. It's meant as a temporary measure only so that people can get out of the way of flooding. There are complaints like crazy on the local newspaper and news channel's websites because people think it should just remain up. It can't. It'll get ripped off if a flow develops behind it. Why can't people realize that we can't truly control nature? |
