We’re referring to things that, until recently, were either at the bottom of the waterway or floating somewhere therein. In this video, we take a look at some of the interesting and alarming things that have been discovered since the waters of the Mississippi have receded. It’s a wild variety of historical artifacts, like ships from the 17th century, to household items like combs and toothbrushes. And even the bones of a long-extinct animal! It’s a fascinating effect of any major body of water that suddenly is a lot less full. We also talk about the ramifications of the drought of the Mississippi River.
Since the river acts as a major shipping route, as well as an important source of water for the region and the country, it is already having negative impacts on the local, national, and global economy. We go over some of the ways that the drought it affecting things economically, as well as environmentally. And we talk about how groups in the area are trying their best to get legislation passed that will help tackle this issue, both in terms of stopping the current drought from having too many negative impacts, and in terms of putting resources toward mitigating the potential for drought in the future.
So check out this video today, as Viewcation presents: The Mississippi River Drought Reveals Horrors Beneath the Surface!

I wouldn't worry too much it's just more signs that Jesus is coming back
Paid actors exempt of consequences of genocidal crimes and breaking law's in California and beyond since 1800's possible prior manipulating history is toxic! Nestle/Morongo sovereign nation has monopolized organized businesses worldwide, I am a survivor of 13 years harassment and medical abuses to murder me. Virginia slave owners were Indian whose appearance was white. Selective prejudices and psychopathic narcissistic manipulating abuses on many levels is not having a great effect worldwide!
The government throwing money at this is Not going to Solve the Real Problem which is an Assault on America's Natural Weather System and it's been focused on the Upper and Central Pacific Coast. It is ALL due to intentionally Destructive Drought that is physically being manipulated to keep moisture/rain from forming off the West Coast with the use of the 180, 70'-80' high frequency crossed-dipole antennas which is the HAARP Program operated by the U of A at Fairbanks which is used in conjuction with the hundreds of other antenna telescope/transmitters/ receivers from California to the Greenbank Observatory in West Virginia to Hawaii to Chile to Puerto Rico and this is All Over the World. These are Weapons for Weather Warfare and We, All of Humanity are being LIED TO as to what ALL these antenna's are Really being used to do.
All of these radio telescope transmitters/receivers are NOT doing Anything beneficial to Our World because ALL of these hundreds spread out strategically and tactically are disrupting/controlling and directing the weather Everywhere in the World ALL for a Very Nafarious Plan Against Humanity that not only involves the U.N. but probably originated from it though it involves All the Long, Long Ago infiltrated Universities, Organizations, Governments, Corporations by the World Masonic Conspiracy (as in the Crime of, NOT involving Any 'theory') subverting & destroying the sovereignty of all but possibly 3 or 4 countries (NO, the U.S.A. is NOT One of the 3 or 4 because America was infiltrated in the Biggest measure since at least 1865 (- 20yrs, + 6yrs.) and Definitely by 1871 with a Treasonous Congress filled with Lawyers/Attorney's and involved the same from the European Rothschild-Warburg Usury Criminal Banker Cartel when a sleight-of-hand Criminal Injustice was done quietly to America and the American People not only when the U.S. Congress passed a vote that We, the People neither were informed of or gave consent to, but Incorporated the U.S.A. But they also CHANGED Our U.S. Constitution which itself was an "Act of Treason" and was the reason the 'American Civil War' was initiated intentionally to lead up to this moment on February 27,1871 which was called the "Organic Act of 1871" or just plainly called the "Act of 1871" which set the stage for the Total dominance of the American Banking & Financial Institutions which was the Largest and Most damaging "Act of Treason" which was the fraudulent "Federal Reserve Act" which the Traitor American President Woodrow Wilson was blackmailed into signing the night or early morning of Tuesday December 23rd,1913 when just a few Members of Congress committing Treason were on standby in D.C.
World Government which has Long been running, Is & Has been busy Reducing the World population in Every way imaginable, Absolutely brainwashing the masses with All the deployed Distractions and Lies and Free Mass Self-Democide and General Democide by the Police State Soldiers and meantime the intensity and obviousness of the overhead "Chemtrail Saturation" falling onto Everything Everywhere and containing Nothing but toxic to deadly poisonous materials and there is Nobody seemingly aware of this Mass Murder going on and their Weapon is the TV.
@@rodney1818 you have been looking at the wrong sign. We have all been left to our own devices.
All Congress needs to do is pass a law making drought illegal. Problem solved.
Isn't it amazing that all powerful politicians feel they can legislate everything away, unfortunetly by the time they get around to doing something the problem usually fixes its self.
50% of brain dead Americans think they can!!!!😢
@@4knanapapa Yeah and they can put a family member in charge and get it funded
Well it's a fact that all droughts are racist..
and of course the governmental effort to eliminate draughts will require a large increase in taxes - oh wait they are already taxing away climate change -
I'm on the lower out of Natchez. Rivers rose 20+ feet since this video. Drought is gone as expected.
Next up....flood
was the pattern in Australia..a decade of relentless drought followed by two yrs of incessant flooding...ongoing thru the summer
It's the Circle of life Simba!
comin right up....
@@GregBrownsWorldORacing Are you saying the billions of barrels of hydrocarbons being burnt into the atmostpere weekly has absolutely no effects on the environment? Cirle of life in your wildest dreams. Data does't lie. It's climate change.
@@GregBrownsWorldORacing That has to be the most appropriate usage of that phrase that I've ever heard.
I remember flying over in if my memory serves correctly, in 1989 to Chicago there were barges stuck in the mud in Illinois it was so low., droughts come and go.
I flew over the Delaware River a few years back and I was surprised to see how much was underwater many boats ,cars and barges .
Climate has it's own cycle. It changes on a daily basis
@@michaeltaylor4984
Yeah. The media and the government love to talk about "climate change" as if it wasnt a thing before the industrial revolution.
What a great opportunity to clean up the waterway and take advantage of the lower water levels.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
I predict within 5 years, we'll all be sitting here watching a video about the worst flooding along the Mississippi in 30 years.
I think the whole world will be seeing extreme climate changes. Removing the rain forests have a big effect, but those cutting it down are making millions of $’s so that’s alright then!
Doomsayers are out ! I remember in '93 , we took our son to St. Louis Zoo , parks , etc. and the flood was so bad , the museum under the Arch had even be flooded . More doom and gloom from the " greenies !" .
Probably. This low river has happened before.
OMG CLIMATE CHANGE! CLIMATE CHANGE!
@@Sienisota You know , since time , there's been a moron on the corner with a sign ," THE WORLD IS ENDING TOMORROW !" His descendants are todays' liberals ! I watch the evening news every day , and the sixties , have both record highs and lows ! Why punish Americans with higher gas and heating bills when China , Russia , and India are building more coal plants and are polluting their asses off ! CNN or MSNBC ?
Seems like a damn good time to dredge and clean up
Its a river the next big rain will blast it out.
And look for artifacts
@@Pwrcritter might find jimmy hoffa ?
@@razzaus1570 Just wishful thinking. The data does't support your argument. There will be droughts lasting years and possibly decades. Most rivers are drying out around the world due to changes in rain pattern caused by climate change.
La nina el nino. The rain will be back, its here in Australia at the moment.
One could argue the Mississippi watershed from Minnesota to the Gulf IS America, as it encompasses the historic lion's share of arable land, water resources and economic activity. When we use the phrase "American heartland" this is the place meant. It's more famous for epic flooding, but drought is cyclical, too. The river makes exploiting the riches of the heartland possible, but it also occasionally flings a catastrophe into the laps of people who've settled there.
I work on a tugboat and we pass through the Mississippi every week to get to Baton Rouge and we’re on a high River advisory. The Mississippi lowers and raises every year
Interesting, thanks for sharing this info! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
OH, the HORRORS. Who would have guessed that sunken items might be revealed. I may not be able to sleep for minutes.
God wants you all to repent and he will heal the land
Try to calm your mind and focus on deep slow breaths.
@@roadking99jokerst60 Sound advice, much appreciated.
The horror is drought the dry river is evidence of drought humans animals and plant life NEED water to survive things are going2die without water
@@JaneDoe-ng3zm How many animals have you heard about ending up dead because of this? None. I live in the desert and we have been in a drought that started 20 years ago and have not witnessed any kind of die off. Wildlife will survive as will domesticated stock.
Those "bullets from the war" you are talking about are not "bullets". They are expended (mostly empty) modern cartridge casings.
Some 7.62x39 maybe ?
@@roadking99jokerst60 Well, yeah, I know they were, but I didn't want to alarm the karen types....you understand.
Yeah, I'm amazed at how little folk know about munitions. I'm no expert but I knew those were not from civil war, civil disobedience maybe lol
@@williamjarvis3473 Yeah! Or perhaps someone out just shooting at fish...
@@fredferd965 The Russians were allied with the Union Army in 1864 and supplied AKs . Shooting fish is hard, that parallax thing takes time to figure out. Had a great time shooting bluegills in my Uncle's pond years ago, went through 2 bricks of .22.
We' ve had it upon occasion the last few years, but it's a mystery to me as we've received so much rain, and snow in that area as well. There must be a better way to retain the rainfall, especially as it comes from the north western areas that flow into the Mississippi.
😂
These are propaganda videos. There's an actual news video stating the complete opposite for the Midwest.
In California they use black balls in the reservoir to prevent evaporation I think.
@@marcellawhalen3776 I'm just amazed they haven't dug reservoirs in the mountains, connected to one another, and allow gravity feed to produce electricity and fresh water.
That's the problem... political bureaucrats keep trying to "fix" what isn't a problem, but rather what the earth does.
I remember in 79 it was much lower than this.. the river boat has been sticking out if the water since it sank! Isn’t like it was a surprise 🙄
so sad to see her sunk
Count on PBS to sensationalize everything for a buck
@@gad5248 Nothing sensational here. It's now becoming the norm all over the world displacing a lot of rural communities. Most rivers in the middle east are either drying up or have completely dried up.
@@gad5248 Lots of agricultural land are being lost. Lost of refugees in many countries caused by climate change.
@@a.alphbond9003 , yeah kinda crazy for certain, where is all the water going? Is it raining more than usual in other places?
Time to dredge the river while they can clean it up! Moving sandbars and sunken hazards have always been a problem, but this is horrendous! The Colorado has been very low too. Hopefully, all the huge storms this year will make a big difference!
And here we are 4 months later and it's back to flooding.. much needed
Well if it was this low just thirty years ago doesn't that mean that this happens a lot?
That was the first thing that I thought also. Just more climate fear mongering.
Yeah but that was before the Global Warming Industry was set up. Now a cyclical drought is the end of the world. A huge worldwide industry built on climate.
And when the rivers flood [as they will always do] it is still global warming. Research?? They cannot research last year let alone 2-3 decades
YES, some of what they say is relevant,, and a lot is hot air,, causing global warming!!
Put Greta to work doing a JOB. A know all who knows nothing!!
This happened 10 years ago. And it's not low anymore right now either. They were days away from actually closing the river to barge traffic 10 years ago then the rain came back. It was an unusually warm winter where there weren't much rain or snow that year. Drought and floods happen ever so often. Sick of all the fear mongering and climate change crap.
@@t2dwarrior209 Very true & me too. The fear talk just makes a problem seem overwhelming when heard on some of these stations. Especially FOX who always do sensationalism in all reports. So I don't do much in that way, but get a feel for what I need to know and leave the rest. Should others NO? Think for yourself. So I watch twenty min. of news every night before bed., then three min. of weather. All done on news for the day unless I need to pray for the big stuff happening in the world at the time. I stay in the moment of each & every day & get some of what I had hoped to do each & every day usually. hehehe. I do my God given best every day. But each day is a whole new day. So stay in the moment, stop buying anything you don't need now. Make a list, no leaving where you live more than once a week for needs. The rest for retired folks is have fun at home in your neck of the woods, with all our hobbies outdoors in summer and indoor hobbies in winter. I can't wait & I just started. I'm 65 ready set gooooooooo. See ya at the finish line. Let's go folks. Most people on earth are over 65 right now. It's our time to thrive. Get busy. Bored lonely, here's a tip go on a lunch discount day for elders, not for any other reason than to check out the singles folks in our age group. That's how we meet unless church or library too. But go where others are doing some of the same stuff you like to do as well. God Bless and Happy New Year 2023 God Bless America & Americans.
My exact thoughts
i walked out to tower rock in high school about 35 years ago
Funny how past events are conveniently forgotten or intentionally left out. Not nearly as dramatic if there is a history of this happening in times gone by.
Thank you for this video, I had no idea about the drought and the river.
Our pleasure! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Thanks for video loved this.
Our pleasure! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, which topic would you like us to review next?
This is the reason I hate social media way too much drama
I live near tower Rock 3rd time I've seen it down enough to walk to
There I s a lot more drama in real life, that is not always shown on social media, plenty more going on.
Now they can find where pollution is getting into the river such as sewage or drain pipes from factories and townships too.
most pollution is from farm runoff.
@@jamesadams2334 with nitrogen a source of life for most plant life 👍🏼🇬🇬
That’s a great point would have overlooked that hmmmm
@@jamesadams2334Most nitrogen run off comes from city lawns with people trying to keep their lawns green. That is not regulated.
@@benwoody4918 roundup been banned here thankfully 👍🏼🇬🇬
And now just 4 months later the river is flooding majorly.
Honestly, the good thing about this is now, historical ships wrecks in Mississippi can now be pulled up and removed
Very fascinating from a historical view! I bet archeologists were excited to take a look down there!
Shoot by the time they archaeologist got done staring at and taking pictures the waters will have already Rose and from one of the people on this thread said that the water's already 20 plus ft up
@@jones36036
They weren’t referring to the Mississippi River. Get your facts straight.
@@dr.jamesolack8504 what does "lower out of Natchez" mean, then? Hmm?
Id love to explore lake beds, so much history that we cant see when the water is there.
@@hayloft3834 And Barbecue grill.
Lowest in 30 years? How long has this river been flowing??? Why is everything always a crisis and taken out of context.
fear mongering...it is what sells...most of what we are living, HAPPENED in our grandparents or great grands time, they just didn't panic at EVERY little thing.
You’re easy to scare when you’re ignorant and you’re easy to control when you’re scared. Hence our public schools. These things aren’t coincidental.
Are you kidding me?! 30 years is an eternity!! That's, like, 1993 or whatever!
I just noticed that it was finally down enough to get out to my old hang out spot after about 10 years of flooding.
I live in o town on the Mississippi, they are already talking about possible flooding come spring due to all the snow up north. People need to realize weather has gone in cycles for thousands of years but everything now has to be so over sensationalized.
I live in California and we have been getting slammed by rain and I hope these same storms we had are going your way because our water ways in San Joaquin county and San Joaquin Valley are super full.
While I understand flooding is not a good thing, I'm happy there has been rain.
I remember when an area in Cal was flooded maybe in the later 1950s. I was a youngster & crazy about weather then & I clipped everything I could find in newspapers. One of those clippings was a woman who despite wearing what I would call a long evening gown was in a very muddy area looking for gold!
I wish I had all those clippings now. LOL
Storms can't truly refill anything substantially and long term, they just dump massive amounts of water momentarily that causes floods. It takes years of consistent gradual precipitation to refill aquifers, not massive storms over dry land
That's good though, California has had many drought issues which contributed heavily to the prime conditions for all the raging fires. Now maybe the land will be able to replenish itself & stave off any further infernos for a while. But yes, much of the rest of the U.S. desperately needs a healthy amount of rainfall.
Exactly what were the horrors that they found beneath the surface?
You saw what we saw & heard the sensationalism of BS right along with ya. Yeah. Well Happy New Year to you. Jeanie Hill. Peace on earth. Goodwill to every living creature. Even pink males that seem to have ruined the planet quite well. Karma payback is a bitch ah no a bastard after all
Mud. Lol
Nothing... another video to scare everyone.....it will flood again and the next video will be talking about all the runoff going into people's homes.....can't understand why media and filmmakers cannot understand " what comes around goes around" They just need to read history and quit the knee jerk reacting...reason I do not watch the news anymore.
Yeah! I wanted to see something horrible, but all I got were a handful of interesting stills w many more unimpressive stills and video overdubbed with mindless narration, which was horrible and should be tossed in the river never to be heard again. Gonna block this channel.
The horrors of click-bait. Maybe the lion jaw? LOL
For the amount of money we spend on maintenance for the river we could have two sets of trains doing the same job with less cost
I lived in Gulfport and love Mississippi.
It tears my heart out to see this drought happening to my beloved state. Please everyone, pray for more rain God Bless
They took down my comment, because I was speaking the truth.
This always happens
Yeah. Pray. If it works like it does all the time for dying children and amputees, it'll do the job.
Lolling my roflmao off.
@@vickydupree8871TH-cam has been practicing censorship on a huge scale. They are removing comments that have no objectionable content, they just don't like what we say. 🤷♀️
Wow, this made me think about just how connected everything really is! I feel bad for all that are directly affected and I now realize how serious this is!
The river has risen over 20 feet since this video. Natural cycles. Next will be complaints over flooding.👍
Yes everything is interconnected. However, this is an example of isolatimg a single event from a cycle. Then using it to push a one sided narrative. They briefly mention that in 2019 the Mississippi was flooded. But they lead people like you to believe this is a climate change catastrophy. When it is part of a ongoing cycle.
Once you start making those connections there is a kind of ripple effect of seeing more connections. It is both beautiful and terrifying. Because sometimes these connections are huge and out of our control ...
I live in Vicksburg Mississippi.. RIGHT on the river….. the river is NOT that bad ..we go through this ever year.. people to go to the sand bar every year to play volley ball there… the river goes up and down every single year.. this is very common.. we worry more about flooding more then drought….. the flooding is so bad we lose crops…we are in flood warning right now….so don’t believe everything you read and see on the internet…this is fear mongering at its best…this is just democrats trying to push their agenda for climate “ control” ……yea said control …
I do like the video, very informative. I do take issue with this being called a mega drought.
This is a normal cycle. Only a few years long. As you stated it happened 30 years ago. It also happened back in the 60's. Not as bad but did happened. I remember both.
I also remember the several floods. I wish that people would stop being so hyperbolic. This is a short term problem that will self correct.
@@alexsozanskyMega drought? What did the Indians have in the 1400's? What drove them from the West back then?
You do know that climate changes? You do know that there was climate before records? Did you know that the governments have been modifying records to fit the narrative?
While I have been a live the language has changed. It went from global cooling to warming to climate change to weather weirding. If the climate doesn't fit the narrative, just change the definition.
Exactly!
Tell them to stop diverting the water into Ohio ?!?!?
@@jerrydee3144 WTF are you talking about?
Oy
Don't worry about the lack of water, wait until spring comes. When all the snow melts up north, you will be more worried about flooding than a drought.
and don't forget the spring rains! Remember when we had all the floods in the 90's?
There is not near as much snow up here as there used to be! It has went down every few years even in Northern Idaho.
@@BJETNT don't know about Idaho but we got plenty of snow in MN...you know the state the the Mississippi starts in.
@@BJETNT How's that nuclear power plant holding up up that way above Idaho Falls I think. I have a sister, her two kids & their families so lots of close family up there. I think it is just beautiful but the mormon bleed over, no I believe in free will, equal opportunity for jobs, not mixing religion & state this because is it obeying the laws of the land, & hospitality being number one to learn on the path of goodwill to every living creature. Happy New Year.
@@reelingminnesota2855 MN is that for Montana State or Initials of Minnesota i think it's MN for Minnesota and to tired to care But yeah how are ya all after the blizzard we just had. It was where I live first. SW WA then Montana and down thru the middle of the country from there. Wasn't much, kinda constant rains there for awhile, but every day when it wasn't raining I had time to walk the dog twice a day so no big deal. They all play for ratings for stupid reasons. Why I watch nightly news 20 min. then 3 min. current weather. Good nite. Well this is it. Good night to all & to all a good night. Peace to all sleep well and sleep in, this is a major yearly holiday. Sports starts later on and any early should be set up to be taped. stay home, sleep in, enjoy football and only say nice things or just smile. Enjoy. Oh yeah and for the phone freaks, give it a rest and shut the thing off. It is not a new appendix to your hands. Give it a rest today and hang out with those in your home & area. Try it you may like it. Or read a great story. If you start a best seller these days I guarantee you will not be able to put it down. Then you have an escape place to go whenever you get a new story from the library or used bookstore online like "Thrift books" that's an incredible place to shop even with no money because you can read all about the book so you know if you personally would enjoy it to read. Then you can pick that book from a three dollar price tag to twenty dollars or more for a collector's or first edition or annotated style book. Buy one a month, have all your books nice and have your own library to read and enjoy your favorite authors and the way they write, what they write about & so & so forth. Then you have very high conprehension to know about everything easily. Even sentence structure so you will write a book if you read all the time and become hooked on stories where all thought begins & ends in stories. Movies, games, books, all of it comes from stories. God bless. Have a wonderful year & try to learn something new to you every so often, it's really good for you.
I like in Minnesota and the Might Miss. is very full and beautiful up here! I have read elsewhere that this drought is a normal cycle and that it is not a significant problem for the future of the river because snow melt throughout the winter and spring will bring levels back to normal .
😮How dare you bring logic and science in to this? We need documentaries exposing the disaster of our national financial situation. The Fed is spending money like it has it but it does not 😢
Hi. This is great. Big fan of the sunken ships found.
I viewed the Miss. river in August of 2018 from the very Southern area of Vicksburg, MS. At that time I didn't see the obvious signs in this video. I was mostly amazed at how wide it is compared to the rivers where I live. I don't know how long these conditions have been going on, but it seemed healthy back then.
Five years make a lot of difference.
As someone in Memphis…. Looks good to me.
Are we being hoodwinked by seeing only very selective photos of areas that perhaps have always had mud flats showing, or whose low water levels are very transitory?
This occurs from time to time. It was worse earlier this century so the farmers began shipping corn and beans to the Chinese in steel shipping containers. There were plenty of those stateside sitting empty and the shippers didn't like shipping back empty containers so China was short on those. A happy agreement was reached to use those for crop shipments. It became a standard practice until 2021 when the shippers stopped that practice. Now they wanted empty containers so their vessels could return faster to bring back commercial loads now that they had raised their shipping rates.
They could clean up some of the items, boats, cars, maybe even logs that were sunk over the years, to save on lumber
Controls like levees that affect the flooding also affect the amount of soil that’s washed down stream and lands in the Delta area. This affects the size of the islands down there and it appears as if the water is rising when in actuality the islands are disappearing due to upstream controls. Also when you consider the enormous amount of fertilizers and chemicals being washed down from all the upstream tributaries, the damage downstream is unbelievable

All very excellent points. So much of these conditions are man-made, avoidable. Reminds me a little of the Dust Bowl.
I agree with you 1000%.
I have memories of my dad on the phone to Baton Rouge asking about what the corp of engineers was doing-he said it would cause Cajun country to disappear!
How can fertilizer and chemicals have anything to do with this.
Rivers in most cases drain into the Mississippi, like the river that flows through Chicago, and don't forget the Missouri, Ohio, and Tennessee, if the Mississippi is low those are to
I do know one thing, people who make a living on the river are suffering. People who fish and sell smoked carp or other types of fish are suffering from all this.
Did ever consider that this could be solved by opening the dams. The Corp of Engineers run the locks and dams, on the river, the solution to all this open the dams, and it might help

Just because they cannot ship as much via barge doesn't mean that the grain is not getting to the ports. There are 3 Class 1 railroads with direct access to the Port of New Orleans.
The same thing happened to the Murray River here in Australia a couple of years ago & now it's in flood!
@Kaye Nash. 🍀🌿
Hello from Michigan❣️
When your Murray River was low, were any fossils like that American Lion jawbone found?
How amazing to see the wildlife that Steve Irwin showed everyone, but to see fossils of animals from Australia's distant past would be thrilling❣️
I have no idea, if they did find something it's been kept quiet!

Tower rock has never been "hidden", and has been accessible by foot several times in my life- it is not that uncommon. I can literally step out my front door and see it, btw.
I'm a NYer, and maybe I'm just dumb, but I think it's called "Tower Rock" because it towers out of the water.
Could be just me, though.
They used muskets during the civil war, they didn't come in bras rounds yet.
The one round with the little clips on it is part of a belt system for like a water cooled browning.
The North had lever actions torward the end of the war. You're right about the belts though. Just because they were found in the Mississippi doesn't mean they are automatically civil war era like the video implies.
Hank Williams Jr was right, "the Mississippi river she's a goin dry, the interest is up and the stock markets down and you only get mugged if you go downtown"
Absolutely
I didn't know the drought was going on on the Mississippi. my son used to work on a barge down the Mississippi. It's a wonderful monster when it's running to full force. thanks for the great video
My brother was the cook on a riverboat in the 80s. I heard they still use his recipes.
If you can walk to an island, it's NOT, an island. If this is the lowest, the Mississippi River has been in 30 years, it sounds more like, a natural pattern. Now, if it was 130 years🤔…………?? Those ammunition cartridges (shown after, the civil war buckle), that were found, were NOT FROM, the civil war era, but probably WWl, or ll. They're modern, casings.
Interestingly when he spoke of drinking water they showed Memphis. Memphis does not get its water from the river but from aquifers as deep as 600 ft; water that has perced through sand. Memphis has some of the purest water in the country. When we moved from Memphis, the water was the first thing we missed.
Those bullets were not from the civil war. They used paper cartridge during the war.
Ya so funny, like the civil war had cased ammo. LOL
I was looking to see who else caught that lol
Too funny
One appeared to have a piece of belt link attached to the case. Love how they use items from later periods and claim they're from a different period of history altogether.
Those empties are not Civil War era. However, there were metallic cartridge weapons used in the Civil War, the Spencer and Henry being two of the best known.
Bro I don't know what you're getting your film from but this whatever the story is about the Mississippi River is way over exaggerated. That river is 11 mi wide and it fills up the distance between Memphis and Louisiana and it's powerful and it rushes hard. It may be down a few feet but it ain't nothing like Lake Mead or any of those lakes so quit wasting your time talking about how low the Mississippi is there's nothing wrong with that River it's just as strong as it always is
get ahead of the problem by establishing asystem of locks to maintain waterway shipping access
I live in St Louis. Yes i guess we havent had much rain. I didnt realize the river was down. Havent been to look at the river in some time. Guess i should go look. Many of our parks flood now when it rains. Strange. I did go to river some time back. It was interesting because it seemed you could almost walk across. Quite a contrast to s few years back when there was a tremendous floor. As i got out of the car i could hear the roar of the water. As i got closer we couldnt talk it was so noisy, the roar of the water rushing by. There were all sorts of things in the water, houses, furniture, large tanks, of course hugh logs and trees. It was sad and scarey. During the drought i saw a very old boat, maybe a raft. I joked that i saw Huck Finn waving at me from the Illinois side. Fascinating, sad and scary. Little tugs busy going up and down. Lots of barges just pulled to the banks and sitting.
Hay fear mongers it’s already come back up !
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Really, how much?
I'm in MN where the river begins. Last year the river was a lot lower than it was this year. We're still in a drought, but this year didn't feel quite as severe as last year. The good news is we're getting slammed with snow this winter, and all that snow will melt and find its way into the river, hopefully sending some relief downstream....until July when Mother Nature turns off the faucet again.
I had no idea that the mighty River is drying up..will it ever be the same? Heart breaking to see this video and see fellow Americans be effected.
Anybody notice that this drought started after the idea was floating around, That since california didnt want to open its ports that other ports would be needed to unload the cargo ships and get goods throughout the country? Or is it just me
Coincidence
Man never stops throwing trash in water and everywhere
Yes, how sad.
Every time I crossed the bridge at Little Falls, MN this year, the water was lower and it lasted well into the fall. That is the upper Mississippi
How much snow have you gotten this winter?
Here's a truth I learned, California is losing 3.2 million people every year because of all the fracking looking for oil mostly all over from all of southern CA over to at least a third from west to east of TX. all will be sunken in and no water ever just like one of the dried up lakes down in southern Ca. right now. Check out "DUTCHSENSE" he can show you proof on video on each & every video. Of course they try to take him off all the time. But it will blow your mind. Everybody bailing to Bali CA and most AZ, Bullhead city south of Las Vegas and basically into the desert. The worst place to be at this time in our history. Amazing God lead me in another direction. I followed God by the book and they played the protester, I live King Henry's way not the way of live for God now, outcomes are His worries & we have none it's all live as a servant for God & live forever or not. Keep reincarnating as long as we need to know enough to become a son of God or not. Can't make that choice if you just stayed a baby forever, birth & death; birth & death not my choice, God gave us freewill & it wasn't to make a human leader rich ever. EVER. Not in any Bible I have read and I have read most versions out there. Unless down right demonic and God won't let me but will warn & stop me ahead of time, be babes in evil. Store your treasures in heaven, not become that man with the most toys wins. No you only won a repeat of what you owe on your Karmic tab. Remember "you will reap what you have sown" . Karma is a bastard.
Salton Sea is not the lake, Salton sea dried up from not being fed anymore water from it's northern beginning point of the lake. There are great videos on youtube all about this too. When we leave, before a new body/life we are taking nothing out of here with us EXCEPT what we have learned this lifetime different than before. How much growth have we made.? Keep growing always. Good luck.
@@thetruthisoutthereyt About normal, thank God!
It seems to me that the wealthy big box owner class has effected the economy already with record breaking profits for the past 70 years regardless of what level the water is in any given tributary.
Unfortunately, minimum wage has been stymied for the past 50 years, so it is only a matter of time before the whole thing comes tumbling down.
I live in the headwaters area of the Mississippi. We have been in drought for about 10 -15 years.
It wasn’t that many months back. That the Mississippi was flooded. People was losing everything.
Do not worry about the latest drought. I am planning on a month long cross country motorcycle trip next summer.
Guaranteed plenty of rain.
😂👍
Oh yeah... you will guaranteed be dragging a monsoon behind you. Been there, stay dry, rubber side down.
I'm still optimistic as the spring storms are gearing up & flooding places. Hopefully, we don't end up with a drastic over correction, but fingers crossed spring kicks it in high gear.
Waite till spring of 2023 ,because of the huge snow falls from the winter this river should be flowing fast and full again .
Yes, I knew about it. Thank you for sharing.
It’s crazy, because it’s been raining so much in Alabama, I don’t understand how there’s this bad of a drought.
some good news from Minnesota, lots of snow this year. When it melts, a lot of it drains into the basin, should help start the year off at a good height, but more drought will still bring it right back to its knees.
I'm an officer in a river city town and we had issues where weekend boaters would get stranded due to getting stuck in the middle of the river.
Pretty normal down here on the southern part of the Colorado. Boaters don't know where the shallow spots are and hit them regularly
it's in a cycle....30 years...nothing in the time line...so, stop trying to make everything a doomsday story...
I did not know about the drought.
Once about 30 years ago my ex-fiance and I decided to take a Road trip. I wanted to know what the West side of Wisconsin was made of. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the Mississippi is the Western side border of Wisconsin with another state. I think it was Iowa. I shouted "MISSISSIPPI RIVER! THAT'S SUPPOSE TO BE Down SOUTH IN MISSISSIPPI! My fiance said ,You didn't know SHE flowed up here? You must not have done well in US States in school.
I told I was not good in States Bordering Rivers.
It is sad to see this beautiful river having problems.
We lived in Madison Wisconsin at the time.
I grew up in the great Pacific Northwest on the mitty lower Columbia river bason on the Washington side. This is where the shipping chanel runs from Astoria Oregon to Portland Oregon, and all river ports along the way. It was a childhood dream come true, and all that beauty that mother nature gives there. The great Pacific ocean was only 30 miles away from my mom & dad's house the river was less than a thousand feet, and the beauty of the mountains breath taking. I can relate to wat is happening to the great Mississippi river. When Mt. St. Helen's blew her top in May 1980 unbelievable energy force befell that entire region, and the blocking of the mud flow in the Columbia river at the port of Longview Washington was to shut down that river for all most a year. The army Corp of engineers had the job of removing all that mud. And it did empaked the life flow of everything for some time. That is my true story of a vital river system life experience. PS when that mountain blew her top that Sunday morning it was a speechless stand in time moment I was working 30 miles away that day.
They know what to do to fix it. All the cities that drain into the river have to CLEAN UP AND CREATE BETTER RAIN WATER STORAGE! all of them have to do something from the north to the south
Then there will be even less water to replenish the water table with. Paving half the planet is part of the problem to start with but what do you do .
Well, at least no one seems to be worried anymore about the Mississippi flooding through the Old River Structure and changing course to flow down the Achafalaya.
Time passes, s**t happens, things change.
“The only thing constant is change”. - Heraclitus
From Memphis, TN south, the water is abundant!
Interesting, thank you for sharing this info. Which city/location would you like us to cover next?
I’m so sorry to hear about the drought at the Mississippi. The drought we had was devastating to. Now our river Murray is in flood. I hope it get some rain soon. God bless you all. Love from Australia
It's not unusual. About every 10 to 30 years it happens. Next it will flood. At times it's flowed backwards.
Thanks so much
omg seriously people Australia just went through a 15 yr drought that dried up our biggest river the Murray Darling, now the drought has eased the river is flowing again….. GO LOOK IT UP YOU WILL SEE THE SAME THING DOWN HERE THAT IS NOW HAPPENING IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
Maybe they should use this time to do maintenance on the river, such as dredging and levy repair. And personally, I would like to see someone check on an old mystery I read about: a missing steamboat named "Iron Mountain." I read about it completely disappearing - no wreckage and no debris.
You are an excellent narrator!! Very interesting video.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, which city/location would you like us to cover next?
@@OnViewCation I'm in Canada but ho about Detroit if you haven't already done it. I hear that it is mostly burned out and/or vacant buildings everywhere there.
The last time I saw the Mississippi it was flooding everything.
The same happens in the Parana River in South America in the NE of Argentina.
How in the ever loving world is there a drought? As of 7-1-2023 this is by far the wettest summer I have seen in a very long time if not actually the wettest I've seen in my life! It has been raining at least 4 out of 7 days of the week for the past 3 months! The ground is so saturated that it can't hold any more water and has been flooding my yard every other day, and I live on a pretty steep slope! It has also almost completely ruined my garden by drowning the plants or rotting the stems. I've tried to dig small drainage ditches between the rows in my garden, but they still can't keep up with all the water! As far as I'm concerned the rain can go to hell for a while... but then it has to eventually come back... because then we would be in a real drought and I don't want that either!
The river will go up and down in depth as it always has....due to climate change, nothing new here except for politics...
This is not the first time this has ever happened and rest assured, it won't be that last time, either.
I had no idea it was that low I am curious what's down on the bottom of that River also
Wow, keys and sunglasses, mind blown...😂😂😂
These low water levels on the Mississippi are largely over now. Last summer was rough but there has been a lot of rain and snow sine then.
Looks like a great opportunity to clean up the river. Create community days where towns, military etc come together and clean up sections of the river so that when it refills it flows cleaner.
That means spending money babb, they won't do that.
I didn't know about the drought this time. Last time the mississippi had a drought when it was in Iowa it was unearthing sunk ship then too that's been a while ago though. Haven't heard anything about it recently. I know the mississippi around these parts has risen and fallen repeatedly over the years.
Seems strange but I remember back in 1999 when I lived in Cape Girardeau and the mighty Mississippi was flowing as freely as always. Well always as it was then. I do miss the weather back up there since I'm originally from Southern Illinois just off Interstate 57.
Perfect time to do a serious clean up. Just imagine how healthy the water will be.
The French Broad River in North Carolina actually flows into the Mississippi River, strange but true
Actually flowed into the little Tennessee river at Newport Tennessee
@@williamjarvis3473 Or rather combines with the Hoston River to form the Tennessee River, which then flows into the Ohio River, which THEN flows into Mississippi River.
@@jsat5609 along with the many streams and rivers of western North Carolina. Have a blessed and happy New Year!
When the water goes down you can see the steam boats sunk during the Civl War across the river from Memphis. My brother hiked down the Arkansas side and fopund a sunken steam boat.
I live in a city that's on the Mississippi and, although I won't swim in it or fish from it, it saddens me to see it having such severe drought issues. There seems to be a lot of snow and ice up north this year so hopefully some of the water will be replaced!
."....a lot of snow and ice up north...." From where you live, where is "up north"? Are you referring to Canada? Hope not. When water becomes more valuable than gold...and it will, I hope you all have hefty bank accounts, 'cause it'll cost ya! Remember when Biden, 5 minutes after being in office, said a big "NO" to Canada's oil pipelines? It's called "karma".
and to think some want to divert missippi water to the colorado so the southwest can waste more water than the colorado can provide.
Absolutely it will have a major economic impact. I was just on an American Cruise line cruise in November from St. Paul to New Orleans and was shocked at how low the water was and the massive rolling sand dunes that were present where water should be. Just north of Memphis we came to a 23 hour stop due to two barges coming loose from two respective tugs. It is so narrow there that a barge going one direction and coming loose can easily disrupt a barge going the opposite direction causing a major traffic backup. Overall, the Mississippi is 25' below what its water level should be. If the Midwest and Northern states do not get enough rain and snow this year, I could see where the Mississippi could be closed to one way traffic instead of the narrow two way traffic right now or closed all together!

Hey those 3 dots at the top of your comments are for editing. Click on them and you can fix your comment.
And a month later river was at normal or above level. Keep crying liberals
Since I was 27, I haven't swam in any river or lake because of the gruesome things that may lay beneath them. I'm now 57.
Very intriguing, thanks for the info! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@OnViewCation Maybe about the locks and flooding systems of the Mississippi around New Orleans, that would be interesting.
We couldn't get back east to share water with us now we got our own thank goodness for that of water 💧 💧 💧👍👍👍
From the Mississippi river west to California and from Montana to to the Mexican border is running out of fresh water ....... there is a huge under ground water table east of the Rocky Mountains in the central western part of the United States and it supplies all the fresh water for the American southwest ..... it is dropping severely and all the states in the area are running out of fresh water ....... California is in real trouble right now ........ but their wonderful Democratic government which have been in power since 1992 have done nothing , that is 30 years ....... also the population of California has grown in the last 50 years drastically , accounting for a lot more water use ...... the Los Angeles area uses more water then the entire state combined ....... this is mismanagement on the federal/state and local levels of why this is happening , the same goes for the entire southwest United States ..... and the federal government has done nothing as well ............US 340 million people ....... need I say more ......
I was shocked when visiting L A in the late 80's the highways in Los Angeles had sprinkler systems to keep the shoulder and median landscaping green. Even then I thought it was a waste of water.
