SEE 1st EXPLOSION- http://2011tornadooutbreak.blogspot.com/2011/05/army-corps-1st-levee-explosion-blast.html The Army Corps of Engineers will begin blasting at 9 p.m. Monday. This breach will create a lake in the floodway in the next 24 to 36 hours. No civilians will be allowed in the area of the blast. Breaking the levee means flooding about 133,000 acres of farmland and 100 homes in Mississippi and New Madrid counties in the Birds Point – New Madrid Floodway.

http://www.kfvs12.com/story/14557528/corps-of-engineers-to-breach-levee

Maj. General Michael Walsh, President of the Mississippi River Commission, says he has decided to operate the floodway project at Birds Point – New Madrid Floodway.

The Army Corps of Engineers will begin blasting at 9 p.m. Monday. The corps expects to see water flowing into the floodplain area around midnight.

They will work through the night, breaking another section of the levee in the southern part from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. Tuesday.

The final execution of the project will be in the upper portion between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Tuesday.

They are in the final stages of preparation of the charges.

Maj. General Walsh says it is a “heart-wrenching” situation.

“This is the right time to operate it,” Walsh said.

Maj. General Walsh called this flooding unprecedented and historic and said public safety was his number one issue in initiating the plan to blow parts of the levee.

“Safety is our number one priority,” Walsh said. “And that was the main reason we stood down operations last night during lightning storms.”

This breach will create a lake in the floodway in the next 24 to 36 hours.

Around 150 members of the Army Corp of Engineers are working with the Coast Guard.

No civilians will be allowed in the area of the blast.

Breaking the levee means flooding about 133,000 acres of farmland and 100 homes in Mississippi and New Madrid counties.

The Ohio River was at 61.44 at Cairo as of 5 p.m. Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

Gov. Jay Nixon released the following statement regarding the decision by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to intentionally breach the Birds Point-New Madrid Levee:

“One week ago, I activated the Missouri National Guard to protect lives and property in southern and southeast Missouri because of forecasts of historic flooding in that region. In recent days, rainfall has exceeded those initial forecasts, and Missourians are coping with record river levels along parts of the Mississippi. Today, more than 760 Citizen-Soldiers of the Missouri National Guard are on the ground in southeast Missouri. In cooperation with state, county and local law enforcement, they have evacuated the Birds Point-New Madrid floodway and continue to provide protection for the property families have left behind. I appreciate the tireless and professional efforts of all men and women of the Missouri National Guard, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and local agencies who are working long hours to complete their missions.

“Earlier this evening, Major Gen. Michael Walsh of the Corps of Engineers informed me of his decision to proceed with plans to blow a hole in the levee at Birds Point as soon as possible. This explosion will send a tremendous amount of water through approximately 130,000 acres of farmland in southeast Missouri. The General’s hope is that this action will relieve pressure on other parts of the levee system and save lives.

“As we have throughout this historic flooding, the State of Missouri will continue to provide resources and personnel to protect the people of the Bootheel. We have boots on the ground. We are prepared. And southeast Missouri will move forward again.

“I urge Missourians to continue to cooperate fully with state, county and local law enforcement, as they have at every stage of this process. Together, we will ensure that Missouri families stay safe in the coming days. And together, we will recover and rebuild.”
