My boss’s wife works for the Corps in Vicksburg. As of a couple of days ago they were expecting slightly better than the 1920's flood. That was before all the rain in the Midwest over the past 3 days.

There are sand boils around BR all the time.
Makes it a little bit more serious when the river is halfway or three quarters high on the levee though when they occur.

The new NOAA LMRFC chart is up for today. No change for BR. It's still 37.5' on the 21st.
LMRFC Chart
ETA: It will hit flood stage within a few hours. It was at 34.95' at 11 today. Not projected to reach major flood stage.

for those concerned about backwater flooding in avoyelles LINK
this will be caused by the red river backing up.

i just came in on this part. but as the water rises this CFS will stay constant but the velo will reduce. that is of as you say the CFS will remain constant.
As the river rises the Discharge (cfs ) and the velocity (ft/s) will increase.
Check out our Gage in Baton Rouge.

I figured it out. I forgot to change the date on my watch at the end of the month. It's a day behind with april only being 30 days. I thought today was the 2nd

In that case the flow rate goes up pretty damn quick

No wonder I got confused when you started saying that shite. I been thinking about it since you said it trying to figure it out. I couldn't figure out what the flying frick you were talking about

when who every it was said 1000000CFS is 1000000CFS no matter what. i figured he was saying the velo would increase as the river rose and the discharge remained constant.

Yes, Discharge (Q)= Velocity (V) *Area (A)
Thing is as the Mississippi River rises the discharge will rise.

That was me. I just meant that 1 cfs is 1 cfs no matter where you are. It's the same amount of water per second no matter where you are. 10' may not be the same amount of water in 2 different locations.
All kinds of mis-communication took place in that convo lol
