The river level near Thebes Ill., is projected to fall to 8 feet between Jan. 5th and 15th, effectively shutting down river traffic because most tug boats need at least 9 feet of water to operate.
On Nov. 30th, it was estimated that a river closure would displace $7 billion dollars worth of commodities including grains, coal, petroleum and chemicals.

13.) And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14.) And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15.) And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

The heavy rains and subsequent floods in many parts of Israel have left plenty of people stranded. Unusually heavy winter rains forced the closure of main access routes to Tel Aviv on Tuesday (January 8), causing gridlock in and around Israel's commercial capital. The region is experiencing record-breaking rainfall.
Israel’s heaviest rainstorms in more than two decades have caused flooding that closed roads and damaged property throughout the country. Jerusalem residents now brace for as much as 30 centimeters (1 foot) of snow to the region.
