Big Muddy is an awesome thing in full flood.
It's worth sitting down on the levee at New Orleans and look out across the river to Algiers in the spring, when the water is high, and see all the energy in that river. Lots of power. Lots of energy. Lots of current.
Even nowadays, they can't totally control her. She is an uneasy dragon, and cannot be truly tamed.

Big Muddy was an awesome sight in the 1993 flood, even here in Southeast Missouri. It was known as a 500 year flood. Folks who never ever dreamed that they would be flooded out, were. Folks just cannot take for granted that where they live is safe.
Ive never been there but from what others have said about the levees, The river must be amazing there. How deep and wide is it at this point?
