Bird's Point Levee Breech Update. EXPLOSIVES USED. New Video. New Madrid NLE2011 Earthquake?!

FEMA officials will announce at 5 p.m. CDT Monday whether they will go ahead with a plan to blow a hole in a Mississippi river levee to relieve flood pressure and save the town of Cairo, Illinois. (( But, more likely to trigger the New Madrid Fault NLE2011 Earthquake, and empower FEMA Commanders. Do you know how HEAVY water is!!?))



The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers said in a twitter message that Major General Michael Walsh would make the announcement whether to blow up the levee, as the Ohio river, swollen by overnight rains, continued to rise to dangerously high record levels.

UPDATE: The government said on Monday it will go ahead with a controversial plan to blow up the levee.

The actual detonation of the protective embankment at Birds Point-New Madrid could come within the next three hours.

Corps officials said the blast would occur between 9 p.m. and midnight local time Monday evening. Two smaller blasts at the southern end of the floodway would follow to let water drain back out.

















FEEMA Regional commanders explains it all.
