re: #12 retired cynic

It’s at least a month before the Army Corps will even consider closing the Bonnet Carre spillway, and they just avoided having to open the Morganza spillway.

Bonnet Carre has been open a record number of days this year, and the river has been above high water for a record number of days as well.

41% of the US drains into/through the Mississippi. So, all that rain up along the Ohio will make its way into the mix soon enough.
