Flood the town, or flood the farms?
Recent rainfall forced a choice: save a small town in Illinois by blowing up a levee in Missouri (flooding some hundred thousand acres of farmland and the houses therein), or save the farmland (and for future post-readers, this time of year, there’s stuff growing in the fields) by keeping the levee intact, but exposing the small Illinois town to the floodwaters.
The decision has already been made, but what would you have chosen to do?
