Nebraska Flood

Uncategorized 46 Comments

It’s bigger than Nebraska, of course and we’re hearing virtually nothing about it.

From the comments:

It is not just one state Ken it is South Dakota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois. 8 States that are in desperate ways. It is very serious. Some more in depth reporting.

    1. Bitch please. The news is either absent or burred as a one liner at the bottom from all MSM news sites. MSM (just like you) hate white in the flyover country.

      Well to be fair NYT cares about the flood, … about Natives affected by flood.

      How about CBC? Oh they care about the flood alright. About he flood of brexit protesters, and about the flood of requests for blood tests to RCMP (thanks to the new retarded drug laws, supported by idiots like you [you really are a f***ing malignant cancer], that encourage extra harassment).

  2. What the hell they are just Farmers. I posted this a few days back. Everyone is ignoring this, but many US states will not be planting this spring, some areas not this year. It will mean food shortages and dramatically increased food costs. Many of these farmers were hanging by a thread before this.
    What will it mean to Alberta. Like I told my son who is a rancher, if he can get off his hay this year, beef prices will be strong. Food costs in Canada will also rise, a lot of Canadian produce and meat will go south to satisfy US demand. That is if Canadian farmers can supply.
    There are no more silo’s full of wheat and grains all over the west like their used to be, before all the rail lines were torn out and made into hiking trails. Like the Canada Trail. There is no strategic food supplies.

    1. “Many of these farmers were hanging by a thread before this.”

      Oh I’m sure they’ll get various handouts from governments after they go sobbing about how the freebies they already get just aren’t enough.

      2. Just like they did in New Orlean’s, right??
        Oh, wait….those weren’t hard working farmers were they?
        And that was Bush’e fault anyway…so this is different. Silly me.

          1. Flood – flood
            Economic loss – economic loss
            Disaster – disaster

            Yeah … no parallels whatsoever.
            Oh … except for these non-parallels …

            Black – white
            Productive citizens – welfare grifters

          2. Oh?
            Clearly you weren’t paying attention when New Orlean’s was flooding…or you weren’t born.
            Since that’s the case you can be forgiven for not seeing the connection.

          3. Gentlemen, please do not make a mistake of trying to prove blatant facts to a pathetically disingenuous load of excrement. It rejoices at the plight of deplorable bitter clingers. As far it is concerned it is karma for voting Trump or something (same goes for its palls at MSM).

            Also they are mostly white … and it still did not forgive its father for loving his white children more than he loved it.

            Maybe if a mosque got flooded he would care.

          4. UnMe,

            let me help you being the stupidest person ever seen here,

            what you are trying to say is that if we care about Americans being flooded it makes us islamophobes, because we should care about muslims a billion times more than about anyone on this planet.

          5. “what you are trying to say is that if we care about Americans being flooded it makes us islamophobes, because we should care about muslims a billion times more than about anyone on this planet.”

            WTF are you babbling about?

    2. I saw your post and agree with your assessment. However, I might add that my one son-in-law, north of Saskatoon at the edge of the tree line, managed to sell his yearlings in time but a few neighbours missed selling their bred heifers and now have to calve them and find feed until they can be put on pasture.

    3. “many US states will not be planting this spring, some areas not this year. It will mean food shortages and dramatically increased food costs.”

      Or perhaps not. The majority of the US crop is planted in May, and it is still only March.

      1. The spring rain season hasn’t started yet — that’s in April (and sometimes May, and can carry on into June in a flood year in this area of the country).
        Fields can’t be planted if they’re too water-logged; they can’t be prepped either. And the growing season only lasts for so long. It bodes for a very poor harvest — and with reserves destroyed there’s even less to go around.On top of that: if the livestock folks can’t afford to feed their animals, they send them to slaughter…which means fewer livestock around to send to market later. And they’ve been thinning their herds for quite some time now — price will probably go through the roof in the next few years.

        And all that flood water will be rolling east at about the time the rainy season really kicks up — so Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin are not out of range of this yet — that’s nearly all of our prime ag producers potentially knocked out.
        And finally somebody is mentioning topsoil erosion: this is the long term very bad thing…you do not want flyover America losing its ability to grow bountiful harvests and lots of nice fat livestock…feeds the world after all.

  3. Because it’s not “news”.

    In similar fashion, North American “journalists” have been slow to note the devastating effect of the recent cyclone in southern Africa.

    Perhaps they’re waiting to give these events the necessary “climate change” spin?

  4. That is not good. In fact that is a horrible financial disaster, not to speak of the mental anguish and pain. There is at least $1 million in grain and bin damages just in the bin area of that farm yard in the top photo. From this distance and by the colouring, it looks like wheat or barley that has spilled. I wonder what is in that barn? Livestock?

    Sometimes, with our farm not being on level terrain, like the area depicted above, I envied the flat land farmers the ease of soil working, but we never had flooding threats.

  5. I see Mozambique floods on the news every night, no North American ones. Guess the news crews haven’t found an in on blaming the actual farmers for floods, or Trump for that matter.

  6. I’m sure if those Nebraska deplorables had voted for you-know-who, like they were supposed to, this wouldn’t be happening.

    1. Well … Obama DID stop the rising seas … surely he had the godly power to tame rivers as well?

  7. I checked the CNN site this morning and this flood is not mentioned on the home page.

      1. Nails it. Not only that but it goes against the whole Globull Warming “Snow is a thing of the past” narrative.

  8. Curious as to why the full / partially full grain bins burst.
    I could see an empty bin not handling the pressure of the water.
    I doubt there is much current (maybe that is incorrect) and it seems random which do or don’t burst.

    2. It’s not like said bins are “Water Proof”..?? They’re not Pressure vessels – They are simply bolted together & put on a concreate pad … and as such the grain, once its wet will likely expand and bust out the sides simply due to weight …from the bottom out.

      Sad…I feel for these folks. A years worth of work – GONE.

  10. Too bad a couple of muslims didn’t drown in it, then it would be all over the news for weeks.

  11. huh.

    I never knew Nebraska farmers set up shop in mozambique. sure hearing a LOT about *their* difficulties . . . .

    today’s skill testing Q:
    howcum int’l aid organizations donnt set up warehouses and depots containing non-perishable emergency materiel, there at the ready, all over the ‘turd world for such a contingency?

    A: because by the time it was needed, the local officials would have LONG since cut the lock, looted the contents and
    sold it all on the black market.

    does anyone see a pattern here?

    ps to unmebot: I put YOU in charge of ALL canadistans foreign aid m’kay? according to YOU they get NUTHIN.
    fine by me !!!!

      1. ah by gawd yer right.
        its the *farmers* git nuttin. cause it ALL went to the TURD[oo] world.

        so. amIrightnow???? hmmm???
        (p.s., ya feel for it dipwad)

  12. Beyond the destruction and despair and loss depicted in that photo I see another issue.
    When you consider that spring planting is just around the corner that seems like a lot of farm stored grain late in a marketing year. Canadian grain markets have been in free fall since China closed the door on Canadian Canola, and if that one farm is any indication of the grain left on farms, a grain price rally looks like a faint hope.

    1. Sorry. Should have read the link
      “As of Dec. 1, producers in states with flooding – including South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin and Illinois – had 6.75 billion bushels of corn, soybeans and wheat stored on their farms – 38 percent of the total U.S. supplies available at that time, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data”

      1. Is all that corn, soybean and wheat in trouble because of the flooding? Or will it help offset the loss of this year’s crops?

        1. Good Question.
          In that same link it states that much of the grain in the path of the flooding will not be salvageable.
          If that’s the case, who knows what direction the market could take.

    1. 22 Million vets are America’s greatest resource.
      Team Rubicon’s website makes note of the lack of coverage and the lack of donations for the Heartland.

  15. The Weather Channel started covering the situation several days ago. Their angle is climate change, of course.

  16. Same old answers: Old, conservative white people, farmers, small town bankers, car dealers, small business owners, etc.
    We are flyover country at best and deplorables at the worst. I hope they realize just how much of our nation’s food is produced in these states. My neighborhood is collecting big, round bales of hay and putting them on semis to head up to Nebraska and other states. Of course, liberals don’t believe in sharing. I will be ok, because I don’t buy my beef, pork, chicken, eggs and wheat from walmart. I buy from my neighbors.

  17. Great Flood of 1927, flooded the lower Mississippi River valley in April 1927. It was one of the worst natural disasters in American history. More than 23,000 square miles of land was submerged, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, and around 250 people died. The flooding impacted areas in Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.

    Following that Great Flood of 1927, we then see the climate swing dramatically in the opposite direction into the extreme drought that led to the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged agriculture in the Midwest prairies during the 1930s. The Dust Bowl was a severe drought that came in three primary waves, 1934, 1936, and 1939–1940. The entire event actually complied with our Economic Confidence Model when many regions of the high plains experienced drought conditions for eight years.

    Unfortunately, the global warming people are already out in force and blaming this on moms driving the kids to soccer matches. They always pretend these are catastrophic events never before seen. Cars were not really in wide use until post-1940s. They could care less about history or truth. The cycle is very clear. This major flooding which may destroy at least 6 billion bushels of wheat is a prelude to what is coming.

    Long before there was the Global Warming crowd, there were the record-setting heat waves and drought of the 1930s that contributed to the Great Depression and wiping out agriculture that was employing 40% of the civil workforce at the start of the century.

    There were runs of extreme temperatures which broke all records. There was a stretch of 11 days straight in July with temperatures over 100. The two worst years were 1930 and 1936.

    Today, they would be demanding action and 11 days over 100 degrees Al Gore would be yelling this proves he is right. Of course, back then, there were not fleets of cars to blame no less soccer moms.
    This is all part of the cycle. We have extreme floods now, then swings of heat during the summer to create droughts, then the climate turns down and progressively moves into a colder pattern.

  18. Every few years this happens in the upper Mid-West. Billions of dollars in damage, countless lives impacted.
    Is it impossible to construct a flood control system with sufficient capacity to pump this excess water to reservoirs in the South West?
    There is a huge shortage of water in southern California and Arizona.
    We used to be able to solve problems, face challenges and solve them, now not so much.

  19. How many dams have they got on the Missouri? They can only control so much before they have to let the water go.

    Pumping water is a VERY expensive proposition. If they could figure out a way to get midwest water to CA they would have done it years ago.
