Yep thanks to the Corp of engineers and their practice of selective flooding.
If you remember in early spring they had that mess down by Cairo (I think it was) where the Corp’s blew levies to flood farmland rather that the town because the rivers were high down there. The Corps didn’t start releasing significant flows from the Dams in the upper Missouri river basin to spare those people downstream. In my opinion they chose a latter release of massive flow rates in order to spare the downstream cities on the Missouri and Mississippi rivers knowing full well the devastation it would cause in Iowa and Nebraska. I just don’t believe they are so dumb they didn’t know what would happen.
The rain fall in the upper basin may not be predictable but they sure as heck knew how much snow fall there was in the mountains. Another question I have is why were the Dam’s kept so full in the winter anyway?
