Water has some power.  I read somewhere that the Arkansas river has reached record levels as far as water flow.

Those barges had fertilizer on them

That would suck. This time of year urea (nitrogen) or DAP. 

I heard wheat. Hopefully the latter.

All the articles I saw say fertilizer.

That was insane.  Folded those barges up like tin cans.

Yep.  "Phosphorus based" according to the news.  That would mean an algae bloom if 250,000 cfs weren't going thru the dam.

Everything I saw said 1500 tons of fertilizer which is like 3 million lbs.....an insane amount but when you consider the river at Muskogee is running nearly 400,000 CFS it gets moved through pretty quickly and diluted. 

The Arkansas is running 400k, Mo @ St. Charles is nearing 400k.......were talking a ton of water moving downstream. We're darn lucky in the white river basin that most of this water is just missing us.
