My new project: create a bunch of odd, free-association Google News Alerts. That way, if one of those things comes to pass, I’ll be the first to know.

I thought about this after receiveing an alert for “Council Bluffs levee break” that I had set up when last the Missouri was a couple of dozen feet above flood stage. That was a real possiblity back then. This was just some foo about CB being on-target for their goal of having everthing remediated by 2023.
