Melissa BS: Flooding along the Mississippi Basin (40) RE: BS: Flooding along the Mississippi Basin 16 May 11

Charmion,
I don't remember levees being blown or other similar actions to divert flooding to save one area and flood another in '93. There was sandbagging and a scurry to get people moved as the water rose, but I sure don't remember guys in offices making decisions on which areas to save. I might have missed that part though..busy finding alternate routes and no tv to hear what was going on with decisions and such.

It was a different area, mostly rural and small towns in '93 and I remember our flooding as being kind of gradual (but steady).
Maybe there were rushes and major human intervention..but I don't remember hearing about it.
