A tanker couldn't make the bridge.... That's an issue, short term, even if it doesn't flood.
It was a little more than what the write-up said. Ships antenna can and will be dropped while passing under bridges in high water(Its done all the time)...
Like I said, they know the clearance way before they get that far up the river.

As I've said before some use barges for floating storage.

Turns out that wasn't headed for Exxon. Bloomberg had to print a retraction yesterday. Bad info from the Riverboat Pirates-they must be buying gasoline futures. Guess that $400K/year isn't enough for them to make it anymore...

Any update on the status of the refinery. I used that elevation map from LSU AG and if it is accurate, all that area down by the river will be under 5 or 6 feet of water at 45 feet which is what I understand the crest will be on may 22 IF they open the Morganza.

They have mooring points(Dolphins) all along the river. That said, some have moved into the inter-coastal canal and west of BTR.
