re: #1 Killgore Trout

Reine, Are you out of the danger zone?

Killgore, we are several miles from the river; places in BR that are close to the levee are getting some water from seepage, but will generally be OK (unless the levees fail, pray they don’t!).

It’s these communities in the spillway that are in trouble. Now, people who build in those communities know full well they are in the spillway, which was built specifically for the purpose of letting overflow into it in order to spare larger more populated areas. However - I still have a lot of sympathy for them, I don’t think anyone expected things to reach this level of disaster. Also, the water in the river right now is carrying with it all the pollutants it has picked up from all along its path - so the flooding will be extra icky. And they’ll start getting water tomorrow when the spillway is open; and it will be there until at least mid-June. A lot of these places are built on stilts - but this level of flooding is gonna get into a lot of homes.
