More development on the Mexico Landslide
Apparently the Mexico landslide continued its development. A majority of Mexico has been buried or effected in some way. Many are feared to be dead.
Check this out!
I looked at the floodgate link we received and found out some interesting info on the Mississippi River. St. Paul is predicted to have a lot of flooding as a result of the collective waters flowing down the Mississippi River.

Underwater Football Anyone?
A friend of mine sent this. It's a football stadium in her hometown in Minnesota.
This is Owen Park in Eau Claire, WI. A friend also took these photos.
Flooding in Portage, WI
A 120 year old sand levee failed in Portage, WI. The flooding in the Wisconsin River overcame the levee due to old technology and flooded throughout Portage. The materials used to build the levee are sand versus the steel and concrete modern engineers would use today. New technology is part of some main geography arguments. As we add more technology into our environment, the more the environment is influenced. Once the environment eventually depends on that technology, if something goes wrong, the hazardous results could be worse than what that technology was originally placed there to prevent. Unfortunately this is what happened during this flood.
