Wish we could rout that water to west Texas.

Why doesn’t Obammie the Commie do something to prevent this and save Louisiana?

It’s Bush’s fault.

It will most likely be a slow flow of water that will take days to reach its highest levels, not a wall of water.

“...as soon as the river’s flow reaches 1.5 million cubic feet per second at Louisiana’s Red River Landing...”

I wonder if CIC has to make the ultimate call on this. Will he take credit for it?

mother nature strikes again.

Why are people allowed to build homes and farm in a natural floodplain? If they do it should be entirely at their own risk. This same area flooded in 1927 when the (known) high water mark was set. Big floods happen on a regular basis but people have short memories.

Okay can someone brief me on this....I know that there’s more than enough rainfall fairly recently but I’m still not understanding why the Mississippi is acting out like this. I mean it’s not even hurricane season yet!

They’ll be lucky it doesnt blow the levees out in N.O.

You can stand downtown N.O. and when you look to the river you are actually looking UP at the ships. How sturdy those levees are after Katrina? Time will tell. Gonna be 2 feet from topping.

Does anyone actually give a damn so long as the links at the Ft Belvoir golf course are ok?

[Joe 6-pack]

As long as we don’t have to deal with any actual Connecticuters, we’ll be ok.

Louisiana Is About To Be Flooded With A Wall Of Water Nearly As Big As Connecticut

And the corps of engineers...Are helping...?
