The TVA says that the recent storms will cost it (us) $23 million to clean up. Consider this; a corporation is tanking water from a lake in Alaska and selling it in India and Africa. Well why don't we tank up the water from the Mississippi befor it floods and ruins lives and crops, kills animals and people and send it to Texas and the southwest where droughts are killing animals, crops and ruining lives. I know Inida and Africa are third world countries and don't have our stringent water purification standards, but let's face it our government has been lowering our standard of living to bring us to third world standards for years after they realized all the foreign aid in the world would not bring others standard of living up.
