Mississippi River Rising

Bonnet Carre' Spillway, Louisiana

The River has overflowed its banks and is up to the Spillway locks. Water is seeping through the locks and the River Road through the Spillway was closed to traffic this evening.

A very effective capture of these threatening conditions.

Hope that dramatic sky in this splendid image does not cause more problems for the river Coleen.
