Mississippi River Running Backwards?

All Eyes on the Mississippi River

The Mississippi River is rising causing her tributaries to flow backwards. The river rose two feet after the recent batch of storms. It is expected to crest at 45 feet on May 10th.

Fox News - The Mississippi River continues to rise, so much so that its tributaries are starting to flow backwards.

It's a site not often seen; the Wolf River and Nonconnah Creek are flowing backwards. The swelling river cannot take on much more water.

Gene Rench with the National Weather Service said all eyes are on the Mississippi. The tributaries flowing backwards are a big problem for the adjacent communities.

"Right now the Mississippi river is in the process of going through what we call an epic flood, meaning it's more than historic, it's more than a 100 year flood, it's more like a 500 year flood," he said. "We could flood many homes, businesses, close down factories, people could drown."

The river is more than two feet past flood stage; it rose two feet in the 24 hours following the storms. It's expected to crest at 45 feet around May 10th, right when Barbecue Festival teams are setting up their tents.

The Army Corps of Engineers is trying to out smart it by shutting down the Tennessee River and closing all other tributaries and dams that feed into the Mississippi.

According to Rench, "we're hoping and praying that the plans and actions that the Corp has taken, this strategy is going to work."

As the Mississippi River rises to near-record levels, Tunica's nine casinos will shut down indefinitely, displacing about 10,000 workers and costing millions in lost dollars. The closure orders were issued Wednesday to ensure the safety of visitors and workers. All visitors must be off the property by 2 p.m. on the designated day. This anticipated closing schedule is based on current forecasts and is subject to change based on weather conditions.

Mississippi ran backwards during 1811-12 earthquakes

Edgar Cayce Predicted Earthquake Will Split the U.S. Along the Mississippi

October 29, 2010

2012 The Awakening - Edgar Cayce predicted that the Gulf oil spill would activate a New Madrid earthquake and destroy 1/2 of USA down the Mississippi.

As the Great Lakes (at 600 feet above sea level) rushes down the Mississippi River, at least 50 miles on each side, the 600 foot wave will destroy much of America, right down the middle. All due to the oil spill event.

After the oil dumps billions of gallons of oil, then the ice cold water will enter the crevice (where it is 400 degrees) and cause an explosion and the mother of all tsunanmi waves, which will wipe out the Gulf States, including Florida.

Then the Madrid faultline will blow—Goodbye, Chicago and Saint Louis and all the other cities in its path.

There will be no time to evacuate, and it will be impossible to try to outrun the rushing water from the TWO catastrophes.

Another earthquake along the New Madrid fault could cause a tsunami-like flood that would devastate the cities along the Mississippi River.

Edgar Cayce actually prophesied a two-stage Midwest flood in which the Great Lakes would overflow into the Mississippi and a great watery divide would split the USA down the middle. The Mississippi River would then become the Great Midwest Strait.
