i heard about the dam they had to blow in tn and flooded a bunch of farmland. i dont think it will cancel roo, maybe just have extra tall grass like last year. unfortuantley we had one of the only sites infested with baby ticks. ughh.
and everyone thought my thread about my feeling roo wouldnt happen was crazy!
i think that roo will still happen but seriously what the heck is going on with the world.. enjoy roo folks this world is stranger and stranger everyday
So the flooding is getting crazy in the midwest and is present in TN. The national media is not covering it because of other bullhonkey.
Do you guys think Bonnaroo will be canceled?
Where the flooding is taking place 250+ miles away in the most western part of Tennessee. If Manchester gets flooded from that there will be no Bonnaroo or anything else.
Ok kids, class is in session. Here is our state. Please notice Memphis in the far lower left corner. Now go up to Nashville, in the middle. Come down I24 to Manchester. That's how far the Mississippi would have to come to hit Bonnaroo.

I still fear the possibility of a tsunami from the fountain. This wall of water may cause a stampede of dirty wooks fleeing the threat of a free bath. The floods will also have an adverse effect on the plague of spawning cicadas and will most likely rile the packs of ravenous, middle-Tenn wolverines. Better sell your tickets now.

Paranoid peoples of planet Earf, unite and take over!
But, in all seriousness, in the event of an apocalypse what time should I plan on arriving in Manchester and what's the best exit to take? I'll be driving from Roswell, New Mexico in a Ford Focus covered completely in aluminum foil and organic hair gel.

As Druid said, the Mississippi River is a good distance from Manchester. Here in Nashville last May, we had major flooding, and it didn't affect Manchester either... and Nashville is much closer.
You should worry more about the cicadas. I heard one this morning so they are almost here!

We have a pretty high elevation here in Manchester. I've lived here my whole life and have never seen any catastrophic flooding. The only thing I've seen capable of bring Bonnaroo to a halt is Kanye

No offense to ANYONE in this thread (my geography is awful and I'll be the first to admit it!!) but...This reminds me of when I played an event for 1000 English tourists visiting New York. I came down to the hotel restaurant one morning and a large group were all huddled around the TVs looking terrified... one couple I'd befriended grabbed me and asked if I was worried about the hurricanes and if they should do anything to prepare for it. I glanced at the TV which was indeed covering back-to-back hurricanes.... in Texas.
Sit down my child and let me tell you of an ancient race, and an ancient time, when these strange and wonderful things called maps existed. In fact, a whole science, which the ancients called ge-o-graph-y, was invented, and these ancient peoples learned the ways of map reading. They were very wise, and very well-oriented. They knew about things like distances and locations. But alas, as with all the good in the world, such learning and insight was destroyed or abandoned during the Idiot Wars of the early 21st Century. And now here we are, lost, frightened, and paranoid about the Chinese who live next to our beloved Iowans in the Maldives, which is not too far from Antarctica. We are truly lost, my young friend.

Well remember Texas is half way across the country from New York. Halfway across the country in England is about 14 miles (this is hyperbole). Many Europeans have problems grasping the scale of the US.

It should be said that (according to several sources, including the Army Corp of Engineers) that if the Memphis wasn't protected by the levees that were built after the flood of 1927, the flooding we are experiencing now would be the worst natural disaster in the history of America. Far worse than Hurricane Katrina. It's scary to imagine how bad it very easily could have been.
