NA0941 Huge losses? This is just the beginning!

“… This is Fox News Live, I'm Lelista, the Mississippi River bank in Ohio broke in the early hours of this morning, and so far, four farms along the east side of the Mississippi River have been completely submerged, and the flooding area is still spreading. "Lelista is Fox News' ace field reporter.

This time, she is still responsible for the news of the Mississippi River bursting.

In order to report on the Mississippi River burst, Fox News dispatched a helicopter to show the audience the shocking scene of the Mississippi River burst through aerial footage.

Noibi Farm is the first to bear the brunt!

The wetland-turned-Noibee Farm, which is closest to the Mississippi River, was naturally the first target to be submerged, and the three farms surrounding Noibi Farm were not spared.

The flood is merciless!

The only thing to be thankful for should be that there were no casualties, the farm staff fled in time, no one is a fool, can they still fight the flood?

"Hello, Manager Henderson, I'm Lelysta, a reporter for Fox News, how did you find out about the Mississippi River burst this time?"

Obviously, the Mississippi River burst its embankment at more than three o'clock in the morning, and normal people slept at that time, right?

Why did Henderson discover the Mississippi River burst?

Henderson responded, "We at Neube Farm have round-the-clock patrols to monitor the Mississippi River. ”

"Oh?" Lelista continued, "why do you have 24-hour patrols?"

Before Henderson could reply, Lelista added, "It's all farms in the vicinity, and you have a complete security system, so why do you need to arrange round-the-clock patrols, it doesn't make sense?"

Lelista repeatedly hinted at the topic in the direction of conspiracy theories.

Conspiracy theories are very popular in the United States, and most American people believe in them, and because they can talk casually, they are very fond of conspiracy theories.

Henderson responded, "Actually, we have long found out that the Mississippi River is at risk of bursting, and we have communicated with the authorities in advance, but we didn't expect it to burst so soon!"

"You discovered in advance that the Mississippi River might burst?" Lelista's eyes lit up, "Then why didn't the authorities pay attention to it?"

Henderson said bluntly, without any scruples about the official meaning, "Half a month ago, we found a large number of crayfish burrows on the east bank of the Mississippi River, and their number is very large, and the entire river bank is densely packed with all of them. ”

"When we found out about this situation, we immediately reported it to the authorities, but the officials did not pay attention to this situation, and the officials said that there were indeed a lot of crayfish in the Mississippi River, so we didn't need to worry. Henderson threw the black cauldron to the authorities.

Although their Noibi farm was flooded, they bought insurance, as long as the pot was thrown out, it was proved that the disaster was caused by human causes, and the insurance company would naturally compensate for the related losses.

As for the insurance company and the official ruffle?

What does that have to do with their Noibi farms!

"Crayfish?" Lelista was stunned for a moment.

"Yes. Three days ago, we found a crayfish cave on the riverbank, which penetrated the entire bank, allowing the water of the Mississippi River to penetrate the bank. Henderson continued.

"Since then, we have arranged round-the-clock patrols, and once again we have reported the relevant information to the authorities. Henderson sighed before continuing, "It's a pity that the official still didn't pay attention to it, and the official asked us to use a potion to kill crayfish, but the potion had no effect." ”

"So the situation is the way it is, our four farms, totaling more than a million acres, are all flooded by the Mississippi River, which has broken its levees more than a kilometer long, and according to our projections, at the most eight o'clock this evening, the affected area will triple again to three million acres. "Henderson threw all the pots to the authorities.

Lelista's eyes were filled with excitement, and the people of America loved to watch this kind of official incompetence, "Manager Henderson, have you estimated the damage of this disaster?"

Henderson nodded bitterly, "Our losses are huge!"

"Can you elaborate on that?" Lelista clearly wanted to do something, she knew very well what the audience liked to watch, and there was no explosion at all.

Henderson thought about it for a moment before responding, "Take our Noibi farm as an example, we are a green organic farm with a total area of 21.72 acres, and based on the average profit of $30,000 per acre, the direct economic loss has exceeded $650,000. ”

Henderson added, "We were surrounded by three neighbors, and their direct losses were more than $2.5 million. This is only a direct loss, not an indirect loss, and if you add indirect losses, such as cleaning up the sludge in the flooded area, repairing the farm, recultivating the organic growing environment, and the damage to machinery and equipment, the total indirect loss is more than $200 million. ”

"So many?" Lelista looked at Henderson in surprise.

Henderson sighed and nodded, "Actually, the biggest loss is to re-cultivate the organic growing environment, which is quite difficult, and it will take at least three years. These losses could have been avoided, but officials did not pay attention to the destruction of the river bank by crayfish, which eventually led to this disaster. ”

Not far from Henderson, Tyke, the assistant director of the Mississippi River Authority, glared at Henderson fiercely, and the pressure on them was very great right now.

Tyke watched Henderson 'babbling', but he couldn't stop it, after all, this is the United States, and movies can blow up the White House over and over again, what's the problem with telling you the truth?

The live report of Fox News was forwarded to Xia Guo's Weibo, and Gu Kaiwen looked at the loss over there, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A direct and indirect loss of only $200 million, what kind of loss is that?

Besides, this time the biological attack of crayfish is actually a palliative rather than a cure, even if the banks of the Mississippi River burst and flooded the farms along the river, but once the American officials blocked the embankment, those farms will not be restored?

What a joke!

They are not going to rebuild after the disaster and then revert back to farms, except for the damage caused to prove the existence of this disaster, what else should be done, whether the wetlands are occupied by the farms or occupied, and will not be changed back into wetlands from farms.

But this time the Mississippi River burst is just the beginning...
