Been waiting for this thread.



To be fair, OP wasn't anything about "doom and gloom". It was a specific question about diversion canals and salinity levels which the OB's resident river expert, ScottyP (no ragrets), answered perfectly.

But if the river gets projected any higher I will be glad to make the thread you mentioned.

That's why I didn't respond to the OP but knew this thread would go that way

The 42.5 is just the latest projection. They’ve been steadily revising this upward as more rain falls in the basin upriver. And even that is high enough to cause problems for interests on the river.

Thats fair.


But seriously, My cousin who works with a guy thats wife is in charge of life jackets in South La says there is currently a run on them. Says in about 3-4 days you won't be able to find any on the shelves. Same for pirogues.

Wax myrtles thrive in water so they're not gonna go anywhere. I'll hold on to my wasp-free wax myrtles.
