While some of the OP seems a bit

is there no validity to any of it?

If not, how do so many of you know this?

He hypothesizes that 100% of the Vicksburg flow goes to New Orleans. That is incorrect. The ORCS can handle 620,000 cfs of water and the Morganza, at full capacity, can absorb 600,000 cfs. That allows less than 1.5M to flow by Baton Rouge, and combined with the Bonnet Carre, New Orleans only sees 1.1 to 1.2M cfs.
