The mighty Mississippi River has been minuscule recently due to record-low rainfall, affecting drinking water in the Crescent City of New Orleans. Generally, the Mississippi River is high enough to battle the salt water out into the Gulf of Mexico. But, recent record-low rainfall, drought, and blistering heat waves have lowered its level. Fortunately, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is looking to build levees and barge in 36 million gallons of freshwater into the area’s facility every day.
Abnormal phenomena are influencing the whole United States. Typically, the El-Nino creates wind shear that dissipates storm growth and keeps the Southern tier cool and the north warm. It also influences precipitation. But recent record-high ocean temperatures fuel tropical storms. In summary, peak hurricanes are forecast to remain high even between mid-October to late-November, with abnormal dryness in the North and Midwest and wetter in the Southeast.
