re: Is the Mississippi River expected to flood this year?

We have a camp at Old River. Water comes up every year but is up early this year due to all the rain lately. 12" of snow melt equal 1" of rain. River is cresting now but future rain may change that. In 2011 the river got up to about 47 on the Baton Rouge scale. It's at 36 now. I personally don't see another 2011 type event this year.
