"Floods may widen spread of invasive carp" June 11, 2011|Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — As scientists battle to keep an invasive fish species out of the Great Lakes, some worry that spring floods along the Mississippi River may be spreading the Asian carp downstream.
Duane Chapman, a US Geological Survey biologist and Asian carp expert, says the fish are likely to show up in places where Mississippi floodwaters intruded. They can weigh up to 100 pounds, grow to be 4 feet long, and live for 25 years as they crowd out food sources of native species.

This is why the media can proclaim a record hot summer even as snow fell here in Hawaii over last weekend. Screw the facts; ABCNNBBCBS has the warmista agenda to push!" -- Wake the Flock Up
Meanwhile, below average temperatures in Massachusetts today. The furnace even kicked on this morning, sigh.
