I don't want to put any more logs on the fire, but I will say this.
The police are there for the safety of the public including the person trying to take photos. This is a historic event and all agencies are in prevention mode. The levees are stressed unlike any other level they will get in ...

Guys ... the bridge was hit FAR before it was reported to the news. The bridge was being inspected by our bridge maintenance crews before the roadway was closed. They don't need to inspect the entire bridge .. only the impacted and potentially affected areas of the bridge. This does not take that...

It's the SOLE decision of the General/Commander of the Mississippi River Valley Levee Division .. Michael Walsh in this case.

Thanks for the Corps document .. that was a very thorough explanation. They illustrated the use of Tiger Dams which we are implementing as well.
