Food Shortage Warnings Begin As Tropical Storm Barry Rips Through America's Heartland

The middle of the country has been relentlessly hammered by endless rain and unprecedented flooding for months, and now it is about to be absolutely pummeled by Tropical Storm Barry.

Of course many of my readers were greatly concerned about the recent nationwide "Tortilla shortage" at Taco Bell, but for the moment that shortage appears to have been resolved.

Now Tropical Storm Barry is going to dump enormous amounts of rain on farms throughout the middle portion of the country all the way through Wednesday.

It is being reported that approximately 11 million people are currently under flash flood warnings right now, and this storm is moving very, very slowly.

At one point it was being projected that Barry would dump 14 trillion gallons of rain on Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas.

Heavy rain packs the biggest danger over the region through the weekend.

For now any food shortages will just be minor inconveniences, but if harvests around the world are as disastrous as many are projecting, that could soon change in a major way.
