Dear All:<\/p>\n

Many have asked, \u201cWhere might the Holy Water be at this time?”<\/p>\n

Before trying to answer that question, I must state that the answer cannot be known for certain but will only be an estimate.<\/p>\n

It will depend on so many variables.\u00a0 These variables would include (but not be limited to) rainfall along the river route, width of the route, dams, locks, etc.).<\/p>\n

With all that in mind, I will use a few assumptions that I have found by research that will allow an imaginable location so that we can place it in mind while praying as it moves generally southerly.\u00a0 I have rounded off numbers for easy calculations.<\/p>\n

This first set variables will only address the river from Lake Itasca to where the Missouri River flows into the Mississippi River at St. Louis.\u00a0 This length is technically called the Upper Mississippi River Division.\u00a0 I later hope to come up with the same information for the Middle Mississippi River Division and the Lower Mississippi River Division as the water flows southerly.<\/p>\n

Upper Mississippi River Division<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lake Itasca to Missouri River at St. Louis, MO (Slowest flow velocity)<\/p>\n

All numbers are approximate.\u00a0 Rounded for easy calculation.<\/p>\n

Length of this section: 1300 miles<\/p>\n

Speed:\u00a0 30 miles per day<\/p>\n

Start:\u00a0 June 19, 2020 at 3:33 pm<\/p>\n

Today:\u00a0 July 4, 2020 at 3:33 pm (begins 15th<\/sup>\u00a0day of flowing)<\/p>\n

Approximate miles down the river (14 days x 30 miles\/day) = 420 miles<\/p>\n

420 miles = 420\/1300 = 32% of the Upper Mississippi River Division<\/p>\n

Using that % and scaling puts the Holy Water roughly in the Minneapolis\/St. Paul area now or soon.<\/p>\n
