ScottieP, you asked earlier..no we never met. I have been out in the field with MB before and a couple others from your office.
I havent talked to anybody from the offices in a few months and got calls from KC and BP today.
I was thinking of going kayaking off the east athchafalaya protection levee this weekend but I guess thats out of the door now.

This is simply untrue glass and you know it. By this statement you are saying that I should go tell you to GFY on the food and drink board because you aren't a master chef IRL. Are you suggesting that someone cannot become educated on a topic enough to make relevant posts? I respect your F&D posts and value your opinion there and would never suggest otherwise, even though you aren't a chef.
Now back to the topic. So it's only been talked about a little bit, but does opening Morganza definitely have a negative impact on Morgan City, or is it just speculated because of the 1973 opening?

Wtih Bonne Carre being opened up, how is this going to affect the litigation with the oyster fisherman impacted from the oil spill?

I usually go off the ramah exit about 8 miles. I heard all the farmers were moving their cattle and I'm guessing the narrow strip of gravel for a car on top the levee would only be used by farmers relocating cattle.

Fa real. Just tack it on to the lawsuit. Those poor oystermen have it so rough.

You might be taking this a little too seriously. What I meant by my post is let the professionals give out the info and let regular posters digest and then further comment.

Some good friends got married that afternoon so we had to miss it. Shame. I have been for the last 5 years. I heard that Philip and Ric provided the entertainment.

Just finished sandbagging my sisters house in Metropolis IL. My home outside of Paducah KY will be fine although there are a shite ton of roads closed. My sis is a floor manager on the riverboat casino in Metro btw. That bitch is flooded. I wish I would have stayed offshore this week lol. They should have let Cairo sink.

You really need to read the thread. A ton of good info
Posted on 5/3/11 at 8:06 pm to Deactived
If that's the case then I wonder why MC is the lesser of the two evils. There are major oil field companies out that way and residential, whereas the potential affected areas of BR are almost exclusively residential.

Anyone know the extent of the levee protection on the west side? How would New Roads, Port Allen, and Brusly hold?
in 1927 new roads was saved from the flood waters by the railroad tracks. so new roads didn't flood back. not sure about PA and brusly
Posted on 5/3/11 at 8:11 pm to WoWyHi
My guess is based purely on population centers. This is going to suck no matter where this happens. Front Street in MC is going to be fricked if Morganza is opened. Like I said in a prior post, pick your poison.

Latest projects per Mike Stagg for BR is 48.9 feet WITH Morganza & Bonnet Carre being opened and alleviating flood water. Don't know how high the river would be in BR without those two being opened. Morganza is going to open they just don't want to announce officially yet.

They should have let Cairo sink.
This really brings up a moral and ethical debate. I am not advocating for flooding Cairo, but I am raising the question of what is more valuable to save. Anyone who has been through Cairo in the past decade knows how bad of shape it's already in without flooding. As RhodeIslandRed stated early in this thread, the town is dying. It is on government life support and contributes very little to the surrounding areas. Jump over to the Missouri side and you see very productive land where people work hard day after day to farm the land. In the end, what's more valuable? If I remember correctly, RIR said around a couple thousand people live in Cairo as opposed to very few in the floodway. Obviously Cairo holds more valuable as far as the humanitarian aspect of flooding.
I'm going to stop right here because I don't really know where I'm going with this. It's a tough call to make and one I'm glad I don't have to. Anyone have any thoughts?
