I was wondering this. I guess “east of the Mississippi River” only includes the USA.

Are you referring to the big storms the north island of New Zealand have had recently? If so, nope the weather down in the South Island where Mt Earnslaw is has been fine the whole time, it’s actually bordering on drought conditions with extreme fire danger in the area

Til! I did a stint with AmeriCorps there in the ancient times lol. We were hard in moss country, our job was at river level.
That job sucked. Carried 5 gallon buckets of gravel down a muddy trail, to make it longer. But I was in the best shape of my life when it was over lol

My girlfriend and I went to Manoa falls and decided to take an offshoot trail to one of the look outs, probably a good 5 or more miles round trip from the falls. The mud and rain and exhaustion were totally worth it

Oh the straight unbroken drop part makes sense. I was like, "Wait, there's no way this is taller than Niagara"

Yes it’s taller (for a straight unbroken drop) than Niagara

Is that taller than Niagara Falls? Isn't Niagara east of the Mississippi?

Fall creek falls? This reminded me of it and it’s also stunning.

I posted this just to see how long it took to be refuted. Happy to see it was like all of 5 minutes.

And funny enough, that claim is also outrageously inaccurate as well! Turns out there's a whole lot of those "tallest of" or "biggest in" sort of regional chest-puffing claims floating around because they're great for tourism, but they're often a lot less accurate than most realize.

According to Georgia the tallest "cascading" falls east of the Mississippi is Amicalola Falls in Dawsonville, GA (North of Atlanta) which clocks in at 729 feet. Definitely not even close to a single plunge but a fun bit of trivia nonetheless.

Great pic. NY state has so many great waterfalls. Watkins Glen and Letchwirth State Park besides Niagara and this one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_Creek_Falls seems like “tallest” is debatable.
