That is terrible news and I'm not trying to be dramatic, either. That really is not good news for multiple reasons:

1. How long can the levees sustain that pressure while saturated?
2. The last week of August and first week of September is usually our time to get hurricanes. There have been many exceptions to this time frame but over the past 15 years or so it seems to be the case.

ETA: I just listened to it. Appears he said "well into the summer" not "well into September".

But let's not open the Morganza, you know, because of the crawfish

I've seen bigger rivers flood the quad.

Those pics from Venice Marina are probably a bit deceiving, there's a hard south wind that's been blowing all week so that's pushing water inshore so I'd imagine that's mostly responsible for the water being that high.

My inlaws have a houseboat there and were down there last week, I sent them those pics to see what's up.

Ahh, the elusive triple post.

Not very funny since the Quad could literally be wiped away if the levee near LSU weakens and fails.
