I honestly do grow weary of these reports that seek to convince everyone that the end is near.

We have had droughts before. We will have them in the future.

The world is not going to suddenly come to an end, or the U. S. fail because the Mississippi river bed is going to run dry.

We have droughts and we have floods. Ten or fifteen years ago we had major flooding on the Mississippi. At the time folks were convinced that farms were going to disappear, and the river was going to eat up a lot of farmland. Today it’s just the opposite.

Somehow, we’ll get through this. Some hand wringers won’t, but the rest of us will. There’s no such thing as a normal when it comes to weather. It’s cyclical. Things will turn around. We will survive.

How soon we forget:

Levee blasted along Mississippi River to spare Cairo, Ill. ... May 2011.

While overall I agree with your assessment, I will add my own personal experience. I live near La Crosse Wisconsin and I have seen that the barge trains are smaller. Last weekend I went canoing on a river that feeds into the Mississippi, and it was the lowest I have ever seen it. In fact it was so low, that I had to walk the canoe about half of the trip due to low water/sand bars.

Is it the end of the world? I don't know, but I know that many people now days have taken for granted the blessing God has given America and what God gives, God can also take away.

I've studied "end time" prophecy for a long. The book below, IMO, probably ties it all together better than any single source that I've seen to date. That said, there are a few things I don't agree with the author on; mostly toward the end of the book.

In the interest of warning as many people as possible, the author has made it available on Amazon as a Kindle download for $0.99.

The book is well written, well documented, and will keep you up at night. It's something most Americans prefer not to think about.

We’re in the 17th straight year of a drought here in central GA. I know it will end someday, but I would still like to be around to see it...

Al Gore and friends were sitting around laughing about the gullibility of the masses of Americans. They pondered on just how they could capitalize on this mass ignorance and settled on Global Warming. Primitive people in the throes of a crisis of no rain, extreme heat (summer) would certainly be receptive to a savior. They are all flim flam specialists and they are using a predictable increase in heat to scare the idiots into compliance. What better way to become King?

In the spring there will be flooding in the Mississippi same as every year.

That Mississippi has had low water before and will have it again.

There is nothing humans can do about it anyway. It is up to God to set the level of the Mississippi.
