A St Louis weather blogger made a startling prediction this morning at a press conference attended by national media that is making waves in the international weather community.

An area weather blogger outlines her prediction that flood levels in St Louis will reach remarkable 10,000 year levels

This weather blogger, who prefers to remain nameless due to the sensitivity of her research and the dramatic outcomes she predicts, predicted unprecedented flooding at "the 10,000 year level", resulting, she surmises, in "violence, chaos, and quite likely, rampant arson throughout the area."

"I come to you today bearing horrible news. I predict that within 36 hours the St Louis area will reach flooding at the ten thousand year level, which we have not seen in 500 years," she announced to the stunned crowd. She then produced a photo from 1505 showing what the area can expect if her predictions come to fruition.

"At the levels we saw back then, the St Louis area, going as far west as I-270, would be completely under water," she proclaimed as a collective gasp rose from the crowd.

"Now, I am not a hydrologist, but I believe my calculations to be accurate and my research methods impeccable," she reiterated to skeptics asking questions. "However, I must refuse to divulge my methods due to copyright issues. Rest assured, I used a lot of math," she continued.

As the media scattered for their live shots, St Louisans wait uneasily to see if this latest prediction comes true and, if so, as Brian Williams somberly intoned: "God help us all, because there is no sand bag machine capable of saving this city. I do, however, promise to anchor 'The Nightly News'" from here with newly produced dramatic "devastating flood music."

Very Nice, and I'm shocked to see a pic from 1505 in Color...amazing. Didn't know the arch was that old either. Learn new things everyday I suppose. I must go get my riot gear..

Yes, the arch has been here since at least the 1300s; many believe it was built by either the Vikings, Indians, or aliens.

Also, I must correct your impression that they had color photographs in the 16th century - that is false. This is a file photo that has been color enhances - probably by Ted Turner.

LMAO!

How on earth did I miss this? Oh yeah, I was extraordinarily busy losing my mind.

Back to clap!

And to mention that you didn't add that the reason for the flooding was because of the melting polar icecaps. Should have had a polar bear swimming under that Arch. ;)

Yer slippin, but not enough to matter. :D

Arson in a flood zone. Nice touch.

Hey Jeepers! I just saw your comment now. The polar bears would have been a nice touch - wish I would have thought of it!
