Yep, 4-6 feet is a tremendous amount of water.

BR is kind of lucky that we haven’t had as much rain as was originally predicted.

Any fishing Lic, and size/limit checks going on??

That's all Wildlife Dept needs to find to get their ticket quotas met.

I’ve put my finger in a dyke in BR before, for the record.

So did you convince her to switch over?

If the levee was to fail (unlikely) then you'd be fricked. That's worst case scenario stuff though.

No they'll open Morganza before it tops the levee here in BR. If the levee breaks, you're fricked.

Nobody wants to see the levee crest... that could lead to failure. Spillways would be opened well before that could happen.

If the levee fails we'll all learn how Highland Road got its name.

Fun fact: Highland Road was the closest north-south road to the river in pre-levee days that didn't go under water during Spring high water periods.

Thus, "the high land road."

It’s going to fall and then rise again during the snow melt. Also, a wet spring north of us will not help matters. Something like 70% of the nations waterways eventually drain into the MS. It’s definitely concerning.

Solid plan. Buy some beer with that money instead. And an axe to keep in your attic.

1. Put an axe in your attic so you can break through the roof and be rescued.

or,

2. Bend over at the waist, put your head between your knees and kiss your arse goodbye......

Not really, warmer air carries more moisture, more moisture means more snow potential, more snow means more to melt.

You need to be more concerned because you live off Nicholson near St. Gabriel.
