It seems that all caution is thrown to the wind now that the Morganza will be opened. Its unfair that man will make water divert on to someone else to protect precious N.O and Baton Rouge. I guess I am just venting because it affects me and my way of life and how I make a living.



Just the way it is. Same thing happened in Missouri/Illinois. Farm land was flooded to avoid flooding a small town. When its population vs. wildlife...population wins.

Not when it comes to wetlands and endangered species.

Have you ever been to Cairo, Illinois? The drowned wildlife in the Birds Point - New Madrid Floodway led more productive lives. They fed themselves.
