    No that was just a fifty year flood and a lot of foolish stuffing about with dams, like yourselves we haven't seen a thousand year flood yet. I say that because the Darling used to be navigable like the Missipp two hundred years ago but not today, you can hardly get a row boat up it even in flood. We have however moved to stop people living in flood plains and actively remove buildings

    Very odd, haven't heard much about the outcome of all of this, was it a non event, a media beatup on a slow day, or has just it been eclipsed by a more spectacular disaster? And a much better photo op for someone seeking reelection?

    The storms in the midwest took over. And of course our government flooding peoples homes and businesses and farms are not news since it help protect other areas.

    I am still having a real issue on this, our tax money built the levies, and then our tax money was used to blow up the levies to flood land that was protected, so that areas that did not pay for or have levies would not be flooded.

    And not a word when the government will pay me for all of the losses, since insurance says it was not a natural caused since man blew the levies.
