I remember when he posted on LAS that he had a degree in "petrolium" engineering. Something sounded out of line...even back then. At one time I actually thought he controlled the flow of oil from the Gulf.

I'm pretty sure baton rouge has adequate drainage canals and none of them go in to the mississippi, all lead east to bayou manchac or the amite river. as long as the levee holds up we don't have any worries!

Talked with some friends up that way this morning and yeah, they're gonna open it up today. Two guys I've worked with for years have homes directly in the path of the spillway.

I was raised in a small town "Mansura" about 30 miles North of the spillawy. Passed on that structiure many times. I hope that opening the spillway , it will really help the high water situation.

I grew up in Bordelonville and I wasen't born yet but my mom said when they opened the gates in 1973 they flooded there. They lived on the levee there that supports the bayou.
