Not making a thread but it's definitely high river stuff.

Another vessel just sunk in the river. 1 guy in the water missing :/

So do we need to get flood insurance in Baton Rouge or not?

Most def too late. No insurance company is going to insure anyone right now anywhere near any rivers or watersheds.

You should have it anyway.

I thought it was only a 30 day waiting period for the insurance to kick in.

So today I saw an article that stated the flooding in one midwestern state as of now is 4’ higher than 2011.

I saw dams busting and historical flooding in other states.

States further north (SD, ND, Wisconsin) had record snow to the point of digging out buildings with equipment.

As high as the river is from the delta to the gulf, I just don’t understand how all this moisture up there coming this way won’t push the already high river over what it is currently.

It's because it's still not a lot of water relative to the flow of the lower Mississippi. The Ohio and Tennessee provide the majority of the water. It'll keep the river high for a long time though.

It depends on what rivers are flooding. Smaller rivers flooding obviously will not input the same volume as the larger arteries.

The captain of a towing vessel is missing in the Mississippi River after the boat capsized near a port in Plaquemines Parish Monday night (March 18), according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

Three people were aboard the Seattle Slew when it capsized near mile marker 55 in Myrtle Grove just after 8 p.m. Two were rescued from the water and taken to the hospital for treatment. As of 10:45 p.m., authorities were still searching for the vessel’s captain, according to Petty Officer Brandon Giles
