Severe storms causing major flooding (OK City)

[phantom power]

The 5.64" of rain that fell at the Oklahoma City Will Rogers Airport on Friday was their 6th wettest day in city history, and brought the total rainfall for the month of May to 14.52", the wettest May in Oklahoma City's history (Thanks to BaltimoreBrian for this link.) The North Canadian River in Oklahoma City rose sixteen feet in twelve hours, cresting at its 2nd highest flood on record this Saturday morning. The heavy rains have spread eastwards on Saturday, causing more flooding problems. Paducah, KY had its wettest June day and 3rd wettest day on record on June 1, with 5.73" of rain (all-time record: 7.49" on 9/5/1985.) Major flooding is occurring along a substantial stretch of the Mississippi River in Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri.

2. If we were a smart country

We would have set up a water piping system throughout the US to take some of the flood waters across to states that need the water. All that water wasted, and causing damage in towns. More is coming with climate change. Why not help states that get hardly any rain take the water that will flood your town. That's the pipeline I want to see.
