Rising River 5-11-2011

Montz, LA

River is a little higher today. Note the white sky. That's water vapor in the atmosphere. Humidity is very high and summer temps are here.
Citizens have been told not to walk or ride bicycles on the levees. While I was shooting this photo, someone from the Pontchartrain Levee Board drove by on the top of the levee, going about 45-50 MPH. A 120-pound female on a 25-pound bicycle isn't allowed on the levee, but that jackass in a 6,000 pound pickup truck bouncing up and down is. Doesn't sound too smart to me.

It does look very high. I worry for the people affected by the Morganza's opening, but worry for us too.
