Unintended Consequences by Ric Rosow

Submitted by Mill District resident Ric Rosow

This photograph was taken in October when the Army Corp of Engineers lowered the Mississippi River. The theory is, with no scientific evidence to say otherwise, that the loss of water pressure in the riverbed allowed mountains to rise west and south of the city. It was not widely noticed since so many of us were self quarantining as a result of COVID-19. Those who did not quarantine thought they were hallucinating and were afraid to tell others. I have heard a report that Buck Hill grew higher and a pond lost all its water. Alas, it was short lived when the Corp raised the level of the river.
