No evidence of sand boils or seepage anywhere around here. We'd know about them. Plus, sand boils are not fatal; they can be dealt with.

Vehicles on top of levees? Sigh, whatever. Bicycles, mostly, and the random levee police vehicle. In fact, I rode from the park to the airport this morning on the levee, not a sign that anything out of the ordinary was happening except, of course, for high water. And gawkers.

The real danger is a ship losing steering, then hitting a levee in the right way or a tow of barges getting loose. But river traffic is severely curtailed. Hardly any vessels on it at all, don't recall seeing a single ship. The barge fleets are secured, as far as I can tell.

Going on the river next week to inspect a large piece of marine equipment in connection with a lawsuit. Should be interesting as we have to take a launch and cross the river from one bank to the other. In other words, we are getting cross-wise with the flow. Should be very interesting.
