In tiny Kathryn, N.D., the National Guard said sandbags placed along a leaky dam to shore it up were holding Friday morning. The town's 55 residents evacuated Wednesday because floodwater was undermining the nearby dam.

    A few months ago the residents of Fernley, Nevada suffered a flood due to partially collapsed levees caused by,hang on to your hats,--------burrowing muskrats---or so the engineers claim. What's going on here. If their claim is real maybe we should use our ingenuity to get this prolific rodent on the endangered species list; or more humanely rounded up and transported to happy muskrat swamp grounds.

    The Mississippi flood which include the flood at Iowa and subsequently those in Illinois was God's disapproval of Obama as presidential candidate. The flood at Illinois on June 18, 2008 was especially serious. The flood water has broken many dikes and levees. Iowa was the first state in the primary presidential election for Obama and Illinois is Obama's home state. In May 2008 when the Democrat governor of Oklahoma endorsed Obama, in two days tornadoes on Oklahoma killed 100 people and destroyed $1 billion of properties. This had confirm that there is a God/Environment and He is against Obama. God even hates the aphabet "O". The fact that Iowa similar "I. O. Wa." or "I. O. U." probably means the Black community may have owed Washington or the U. S government or the American people in general something very important. What they are, many of you should be able to determine yourselves? I am here only to help you understand the messages from the Environment so that future disasters can be averted. Future disasters to the U. S. will certainly confirm my prophecy.
