I feel so bad for those poor farm families. All their hard work, in some cases the work of a lifetime, just got washed away.

I think blowing the levee will save more than it destroyed. By doing so the projected crest 50 miles up the Ohio River has been lowered 3 feet.

Current forecasts do not take into account even current rain events, let alone future rain events. They only address the water in the channel already. I mean no disrespect but that is 100% untrue. We have had the Lower Mississippi River Forecast Center ingesting our 5 day rainfall forecast into their models since last Thursday. Usually they only ingest the next 48 hours, but given the gravity of this situation we asked, and they honored our request. We(the NWS in Memphis) have been working very closely with the LMRFC to get then most accurate forecast they can.
Maybe I should clarify....as of 2002 when I worked at the Memphis District Corps office, the USACE's forecaster didn't take into account future rain events.
I think that's why the Weather Service's forecasters didn't have to change their models as frequently
