It's getting real up here. Notice those are garage doors at the bottom, and the crest is a week away.

Normal spring flood. This shite is real. I could see the NBA playoffs not being played at the Pyramid.

Uh, they play in the Fed Ex forum which is near Beale St. The Pyramid has been closed for years.

Might be a Bass Pro shop if this doesn't scare them off.

A little water should not scare them off.. They are in the business of selling boats right..

I would think that anyone caught trying to blow a levee would be shot on sight

Not shot, you'll probably just get arrested. I think they place a no trespass order on it or something.

I'm not sure how they can have a no-trespassing sign that spans the length of the levee

I know the levee that holds the Mississippi on the Arkansas side has cops on it 24/7 and you'll get arrested on the spot.

Why? Did they have no-trespassing signs out on the levee? I don't know how they can arrest you for something 'assumed' to be illegal (such as walking on the levee when the water is high).

They patrol it with police trucks and shite. The levee has its own police force. I know this because I talked to one of them today. Their police cars suck FWIW.

If there isn't warnings or signs, the most they can do tell me to leave right?
