I've been fairly accused of being a pessimistic person, but I'm wildly optimistic compared to a worst-case scenario model that shows Missouri could supposedly be underwater someday.
I've always been curious why Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri is constantly referred to as one of America's most 'dangerous' lakes when it's such an easy going place. The numbers back up that the danger is real and a new theory may explain why.
I asked a question that I thought I knew the answer to. Boy, was I wrong. What do you think is Missouri's largest lake? If you immediately think it has to be Lake of the Ozarks, you're as wrong as I was.
In the past year, more than 20,000 California residents made the decision to move to Illinois. Now, because of an issue with water, there could be even more beginning in 2024.
Of all the worst-case scenarios, this is near the top of the list. The state of Missouri is warning that hackers could take aim at vital water supply systems and authorities need to be at the ready.
If you have ever thought about trying to get away from society and living off-the-grid, you would be wise to take heed to a Missouri homesteader who warns of a current crisis with hay that's progressively getting worse and he's not alone with his warnings.
I would never have guessed this in a million years and everyone I've asked has gotten it wrong. Let's see if you can do better. How long do you think it takes for a water droplet to travel the entire length of the Mississippi River? Spoiler alert - much longer than you likely think.
I must say that I love a good, entertaining conspiracy theory, but I also do prefer that it be based on facts. That's why I want to let you know that you might see an unmarked low-flying helicopter in Illinois soon. No reason to panic though. I think I know why.
