Not sure, but OEP has been having helicopters landing and taking off regularly for the past few weeks. I saw a group of 3 landing this morning around 8:10.

USACE has a big boat equipped like a hotel for officers to use during flood control operations. It has about 120 rooms so I've been told. That could be it. Not bitching. I think it is a good idea to have it.

FWIW, yes, this was the tug docked downtown yesterday. It appears to be gone, or at least moved today. I guess it's not gone.

She is definitely big. My family's company had it up on dry dock for repairs several years ago. It has a theater and everything. Self contained mobile command center. Pretty impressive towboat.
