Has anyone seen any predictions/speculation about the effects of Sandy on the Ohio and Mississippi systems? I live in Cincinnati on what used to be the Ohio floodplain, although it no longer is, thanks to the TVA and the Army Corps of Engineers (Whose motto is, apparently, “Screw You, Kentucky”). I have friends and neighbors and regular destinations in Columbia-Tusculum, OH and Bellevue, KY who are not protected by the current dike/floodwall scheme.
