Is this the same slide that has been posted a few times already in this thread?

Same area but not the same slide

The USACE guy narrarating the video doesn't seem very concerned. I hope he knows what the frick he's talking about.

Yes. Big storm coming Wednesday. Not looking good.

How high is the water Mama?

You could say that.
All guidance has a sub 980 mb low pulling across the plains. For reference, it's in the low end Cat 2 hurricane pressure range. Of course, the gradient won't be that tight. Still potential for gusts 70+ for the Texas Panhandle and portions of Oklahoma.
Blizzard for the north side into Nebraska and parts of the upper Midwest. The rainfall totals for the Ohio River area aren't extreme at least, 1-2".

This week another massive round of winter weather.

At least it'll keep it cold for a little while longer. The longer period the river can drop before the big spring melt, the better.

Guess the only good thing is that if snow is falling it ain’t melting. Maybe this rise will have a chance to go down before the melt happens

Just a hypothetical question for fun
What would be the outcome if the levy failed in the Greater Baton Rouge area (east bank near downtown)? How long would it take for different areas to flood?

That's the hope down here but it's shaping up for some big flooding on the upper Mississippi for the end of March into April. Ground is still frozen under the snowpack, soils are saturated through the region, and the longer the melt takes the more likely it will be rapid. Really don't want to see a big rain storm up that way in the next month.
For us though, the more drop in the river we can get before then, the better it is

and now this thread has come full circle. (Read about the first 6-8 pages for that discussion)

yea the reality is that even if the river is down, when the melt happens, it’s looking like it’s gonna be a big one. If the river is 30-35 feet in BR for the spring rise it’s gonna be interesting.

Most of downtown is above river level, I think.

Not sure if it was posted but this was taken on the 7th. Pretty cool to see the color changes from the incoming river water

There’s going to be so much land building this year (relative to normal years). The 2011 flood did work son

Where can you find how fast the MS river is flowing? I have heard they will open the Morganza spillway when the river reaches 1.25 million cubic feet per second.
