Mesopotamia Flooding
  It was just yesterday when the Tirgis and the Euprates Rivers flooded and destroyed the southern part of Mesopotamia. The citizens of Mesopotamia believe that the cause of this flood was due to the melted snow from the mountains. The snow melted  as the temperature went up in the mountains. Since the flood came earlier than expected, the farmer suffered a tremdous loss because it is close to harvest time. The major loss was in wheat and barley since they are the main grown crops in this region. In addition, the flood also destroyed many of the house. This means that the citizens of Mesopotamia will face the problem of moving temporary to a safer gound. Moving was usually a easy task but with the river water still rising the only way to travel was by boat. Traveling in this way is very inconvenient.
   Most citizens disliked the flood. One local farmer Rajain said," I was preparing to harvest my crops next week,  but they were totaly destroyed since the flood has came earlier than expected."
   But there were also some people who welcomed the flood. Farmer Caprisn said," I have just harvested and have enough to eat for a while. After a few weeks when tthe water recedes, I can farm again and the soil will be richer because of the silt brought by the flood. I look forward to a better harvest in the furure."
   This Mammoth flood has killed at least 200 people and there were 300 people who were badly injured badly. This flood also left 100 children as orphans. They are all waiting for adoption and are living in Cony Children's Home. Cheif Cocojuco sends his condolences to the relatives of those how died.


  *As you can see Mesopotamia harvest in the spring time and that is when the rivers flood.
