And don't forget that the Mississippi River is really just beginning to recede, the Northeast US is already flooded in several places from the runoff from Canada (why can't they just steal the water like Colorado and Nebraska do for Kansas?) and the Missouri River basin is busy sandbagging for the runoff from record breaking snow-melt runoff that's just beginning.

In Texas and Oklahoma the livestock is dying and crops are past fail-point from the extended drought.
