Your complaining about flooding in a flood plain area😟

Move. Let the river have it's path. It will anyway.

When I was going to school I learned that some of those rivers were rerouted to make the area farmlands I believe that the Mississippi river was one of them So these people are sitting on the actual river route that's one of the reasons why people have trouble with these floods. They rerouted the riverbeds to use it for farmland

That water should be there, because it is there. When you build in a flood zone, this is what happens.

That the Mighty Mississippi! We got flooded a few years ago (Tunica, Memphis, W. Memphis) no levees broke just plain flooding... you got my prayers

Why do people build in flood areas?

Well move, not to be insensitive but why stay after the 2nd flood? Good luck.

These people are the reason insurance rates are so high they know there building on a flood zone alot these people don't realize it but there 150 k homes end up costing millions to keep rebuilding

Irony: These lands are such great farmland precisely BECAUSE of the river flooding like this over the centuries.

the 2nd flood, I'm gone... 3rd flood... you're just plain stubborn

You build a house beside a river that takes in half the water in the USA and you want the govt. to spend millions of dollars to try and hold it back. It’s cheaper and smarter if you live somewhere else.

That means you should think about moving or relocate the house to the higher end of the property.

If they’re not willing to rebuild, the government needs to buy them out. They guaranteed the land would be farmable by building the levee, and when it failed they refused to fix it.

Please pray for me we could possibly be flooded to and we may lose our home and animals and our things that has great meaning to us please pray for us and im really scared about this btw I live in Terrebonne district in Louisiana

🙏🏼 Prayers for you & everyone touched by the floods .

I feel for the people that are suffering from the effects of the flood however if people continue to build in the flood plains at what point do it become a personal risk.Mother nature is undefeated.🌅🌪⛈⛈

I hope this is a joke.. Do you not understand the word floodplain?

We will take that water we need it in Arizona. A pipe line from here to there. we can move oil great distances but we don't want to move water

It looks like they have beautiful island now, but I understand that farming thing. 😊🏝️ It is better to live in areas which have higher hills. It is possible to have a flood on areas which are more flat.

It floods, and floods again, and still floods . Every year, another flood. Some years are heavier than others.. Has NO ONE actually figured it out? Winter snow melt from the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains flow down to the Mississippi River. Snow melt from the western slopes of the Appalachians flow down to the Mississippi River. Add that to heavier rains, well, it has to go somewhere! The Mississippi River can only take so much. And when run off excedes the drainage flow of the river, it goes over the banks, and floods the land.This is a yearly cycle. The dams and locks on the river restricts the drainage flow. People build and live next to the river, oblivious to this fact. How could this be remedied? Hm-m. Dig the river deeper and wider? Maybe build some pumping stations, and send the water about 900 miles west, and 10,000 feet in elevation, and into the Colorado River?, every knows they could use all the water THEY could get. Another choice you wont like, is to live with it. You chose to live there, Maybe someone else can offer better alternatives. Maybe, look up past flood zones, flood plains, and flood histories! Sorry if this is too harsh, just reality!

Adapt ...Move.

With this Levee break how many acres of farmland is still flooded as of today's date 6 1719

He wants socialism. Imagine that.

I live next to a flood zone. It floods pretty often in the flood plain. I live on a pretty good sized hill but close enough to the farm land to farm. If you are going to live close to large bodies of water, live on the highest ground possible, even if it means a little more travel time.

History of Mississippi?! Are those souls that were murdered at peace? Recompense!

I just want to say thank you to all the farmers and I hope the government will help the farmers

I’m sorry this is happening. Hugs from Canada❤️

Flood plains have rich soil in them and makes farming profitable enough to make a living there. It makes the food they produce more nutritious. The river coming out is also good for the soil, rebuilding it. The years the rivers come out is difficult for the farmer. They go hungry. They loose big time. Thank God most farmer's are a tenacious bunch. If not, us city dwellers would starve off real quick. Most think growing food is an easy trick. You have a second thought coming. Don't make it harder on them.

Listen to what the lady says at the beginning of this video, all this land is farmland. natural countryside can absorb 70% more water than farmland, 100% more than concrete and tarmac. The more people you cram onto this planet the more of this planet you covered in concrete and tarmac, that means there is less to absorb that water that is coming down for it has nowhere to go. but you don't want to listen to that, because to do so would mean you'd have to start controlling our numbers and bringing them down to an acceptable level that each land mass can naturally support where you have a vast amount of natural countryside, I am talking about two thirds of the land mass you live on covered in natural vegetation. how many people can say that the landmass they live on is covered by two thirds of natural vegetation. this is how you can tell when there is too many people on a land mass, by looking at the amount of people, their buildings, farmlands to natural vegetation of that land mass. if you have the right balance then the natural vegetation should be twice as great as the people there buildings roads and farmlands of that land mass. there should be vast areas where there is no human occupation. this is how you can tell if there is unbalanced on a land mass, when human occupation is greater than the natural environment of that land mass.

It happened 3 times, learn from that move away it's not a suitable place to stay. It's going to continue happening.

There are farms here in Missouri along the river plains that keep a good 70% of a levee around their home year round then just fill in the driveway and front when floods are imminent

My grandparents live beside the river, every year 4-10 times flooded per year . Sometimes the water level reached 2 meters above. They know the risk so they built upper house, and built nothing at lower ground, accept for pillars. A lot of pillars to hold upper house. They bought a boat, when for groceries like nothing happen. The house has been almost 90 yrs, but still stand strong.

Just this past weekend, all the rivers from Chicago to Northern Minnesota were bank full at least. Old Man River is going to stay high for a while.

time to change their crops from corn to catfish

They need to fix that problem. I live in a place where levees and low dams keep us from floods. Losing the farm land can affect a lot more than just those few who live there. It's how they make money by producing food to feed US

I’m no expert...but have you tried driving the Chevy to the levee?

So WHy Move where ,there will be flooding.DUH!

What is the situation now end Nov 2020?

Why would u build a near a levee close to river that was crazy that why they don't have any neighbors cut loss and leave

I don't care if the costs outweigh the benefits. I'm on the east coast away from these floods but we still gotta take care of each other, you can't just abandon these folks.

Very Beautiful Cat left there to drown. So sad, Animal Neglect/Abuse. The Cat is so Georgeous, I feel sorry for him/her !!!

Y'all know what a flood plain is right?

Build your buildings on stilts duh.

So you left your cat to drown 😳😠

With no farming going on, wait til you see your grocery bill! Our farmers are the back bone, if they can't plant no food.. No wheat, no corn, no soy no food. You will be wishing the government helped them!!

This is where the MONEY is Needed, Not the Stupid Wall. Be safe all,

What studio ghibli film is this?¿

Can the insurance companies help at all? They could be saving money by helping to rebuild the levee. By doing this they can save money.

When I see the absurd amount of $ wasted on” destructive” budgets-I’m sure a happy median is out there, it takes common sense to get there though and some need an extra dose

I am from Mississippi I am not far from the floods. I am soon prepare for it.

I live in a area where we get floods we have been having floods get worse every year and we aren’t in a flood plain and we have not experienced this flooding before

All jokes aside. Is the fishing good though?

smart man using that sand for a levee

When this happens in our town everyone gets together and lays sand bags for a week

On the bright side you now have a home on the water with a river front view. Build your little levee up and put your house on stilts an live like vinece lol jus boat’n around with designated parking areas. There’s probably one guy out there that fishes who’s like 🙏🏼 living in Disney land lol

I remember the 94 Flood

It’s river basin. Not farmland....... the river will always win. Move out.....

"This water shouldn't be here" Lady, you are living on the Mississippi's damn flood plain. It belongs there. It rules the roost there. It's been there for millions of years and will be there millions more. You're a mayfly's blink as far as it is concerned. You are living on its turf. I live next to the river too, but I live a mile inland and, and this is important, UP ON A DAMN HILL NOT IN THE FLOOD PLAIN OR LOWLANDS.

I live in Mississippi

Greetings, What happened to help? Soldiers didn't came to help? Thanks

The woman said this is the third time's a piece of property flooded in recent years did they fix the Levee and. it breached at the same point sounds like the corps of engineer should go in and buy this property take ownership of it making a blowout point half way up to the flood point if it doesn't flood the land can be leased out for farming no insurance so who rents it is taking a risk on raising a crop so the ground is rented at a cheaper rate so they absorb the losses if there is some

It is amazing that corn futures are skyrocketing right now. They are not talking about the fact that these people feed us, furthermore they sustain our standard of living through their sacrifices. We are praying for you, and hope that the Government will help you this time.

Wonder why insurance is so high....

I wish I could pump some of this water into my backyard...I'd love a resaca view, but oh well an old cemetery it is.

I'm sorry for what she and her family are going through, but she is in a floodplain along one of the world's greatest and most powerful rivers. River/nature always wins, at some point they'll need to realize that. Levees are human-made and very temporary measures.

Purposely building/living in an area that is a KNOWN flood plain makes about as much sense as people that build their homes right next to a large airport and then complain about the noise. GET A CLUE!! I flew out of such an airport and when we took off, the pilot actually put the plane into almost a 55-60 degree climb. I was literally looking at the front of the cabin ABOVE ME, When he got leveled off, he came on the speaker and 'apologized' for the tremendous attitude of the climb and advised it was because surrounding homes had gotten the city to pass an ordinance to require them to climb at that steep of an angle to help "noise abatement", He commented that it was steep and, YES, it was dangerous for a passenger jet to have to climb out at such a pitch. Scared the snot out of me!! YourConscience

“We put up 20%, the levy district puts up 20% and the corps puts up 80%” Quick maths.

Wrong...you are in the wrong place....the water should be there...

crying wont help you, praying wont do you do you no good when the levee breaks

Pray for these people

Instead of the "WALL" HOW ABOUT THE LEVEES on the Mississippi and Missouri.

Have to move to higher ground or put a 15 foot wall around home

Maybe raise the damn foundation 100 feet and build a house on 50 foot poles

We need food fix the levee!!😡

Why would anyone live that close, and then complain. It's going to do it again. If you don't want hurricanes, then don't live on the coast. Same here. Don't want floods, don't live by a massive river!

"This water shouldn't be here. This is farmland". Or...this farmland shouldn't be here this is river floodplain.

Did you leave the cat behind?? No wonder he’s not purring. He doesn’t want to drown.

STOP GEOENGINEERING!!!!!!

Missippu is feed by rivers from the Rocky’s and Appalachian mountains 🏔. All that water has to go somewhere.

Well, the thing is we need the farmland to feed all you complaining that this is a floodplain. Yes, it is a floodplain. Most of our farmland is located on floodplains, as is a good chunk of our otherwise developed land. We build levies and canals to make this land arable. We have been doing this for hundreds of years. Sometimes the levies erode and we have to fix them. Its expensive. We feed 400 million people, plus many other industries depend on agriculture and we export food. Farmland is extremely important. We need to maintain out levies. Its as much a part of our infrastructure as highways or a power grid.

This is crazy. Just wait till 2020

Where is the government when you NEED THEM. We supposed to help each other in this nation. We are one! We are united!

They never talk about how bad it floods every year in Vicksburg Mississippi. As well in the eagle lake community in Warren County. This happens year after year, my grandfather worked for the Corp, he went out on the giant mat sinking units and they developed and fixed levels. Just do a little research the government knows how and when it’s going to happen. They study this at water ways experiment station in Vicksburg Mississippi. Which is run and own by the federal government.

Build on the floodplain, get flooded, and expect the govt to bail you out. Move.

“If it keeps on raining levee’s gonna break”

Isaiah 28 I suggest you read it.

20%20%80% so 120% ???

Wouldn't the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT helping them be the same as TREADING on them?

all of our infrastructure is sooo old here in America Inc. exactly where are our tax dollars going to...Israel? we are becoming a 3rd world country....

Move ?

60 year old moms: IS BECAUSE OF THE DAMM PHONE

Reparations or total destruction. Your choice.

when the methane in the arctic catches fire, the water will go up about 88 feet in about 6 weeks, you should really consider car pooling to Kansas.

I live 1 min away from the mississippi river

Why you left your cat behind while there is danger of flood water?

This is one way good you can have fresh water fish and sometimes they restructure the environment. You took out everything but you have to give something back to earth. The earth needed water so it is filling that place.

This makes me sad

I wonder if that board chairman is related to Channing Tatum

All levees do is push the water up on someone else. No levees!

A smart person would move
