Flooding in Mississippi

Mississippi floods In the summer of 1993, America faced the most serious floods ever. 17,000 square miles in the area covering all or part of the nine states (North Dakota State and South Dakota State, Nebraska State, Kansas State, Missouri State, Iowa State, Wisconsin State, Minnesota State, and Illinois State) It was covered with floods. All the large rivers in the Midwest, such as the Mississippi River, the Missouri River, Kansas, Illinois, Des Moines, the Wisconsin River, are all flooded. From April to September, the Mississippi River rose 144 days from the flood stage and about 3 billion cubic meters of water overflowed from the waterway to the flood plain in the downstream area of ​​the holy river.

The flood of the Mississippi River in 1927, also called the flood of 1927, was flooded downstream of the Mississippi River in April 1927. This is one of the most serious natural disasters in American history. Land exceeding 23,000 square miles (60,000 square kilometers) flooded, hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated, and about 250 people died. After a few months of heavy rains the Mississippi spread to an unprecedented level and the first dam broke along the coast of Illinois on April 16th. Later, on April 21, the embankment of the Mound Landing in Mississippi withdrew. In the coming weeks the entire dam system along the river basically collapsed. In some places residential areas are submerged in 30 feet (9 meters) of water. At least two months have passed before the flood completely fits

In the summer of 1926, the flood began with heavy rain in the middle of the Mississippi River. As of September, the tributaries of the Mississippi River in Kansas State and Iowa State were expanding. On the Christmas Day in 1926, the Cumberland River of Nashville, Tennessee was more than 56 feet 2 feet (17.1 meters), it is still a record level today, higher than the devastating flood of 2010. The flood peaked in the Mississippi River Basin near the Arkansas State of Arkansas, the Mississippi River Basin and the Mississippi River Downstream Basin and broke at least 145 dams along the river. Water flooded over 27,000 square miles (70,000 square kilometers) of land and more than 700,000 people lost their homes. About 500 people were killed by the flood. Currency damage due to flooding amounted to about 1 billion dollars, which is one third of the 1927 federal budget. If the incident occurred in 2007, the loss would reach approximately $ 930 billion or $ 1 trillion (2007 dollars)
