Indiana property is worth far more than any of that, so why not blow up all the downstream levees along the Ohio lest it back up into the world's best bean growing region.

Now that makes sense.

Might take out Paducah and Cairo, and could provide enough extra flow to back up the Mississippi enough so it overtops the levees in Missouri.

The problem with blowing up levees is that defeats the earlier comprehensive designs. No one knows what is going to happen but if it endangers Indiana I don't want you doing it, ya hear?!

That is a matter of opinion.
