Long distance between BRLA and NOLA, not all the distance covered by the best of them. Seeing reports of seepage south of Baton Rouge including various casinos, LaPlace, all the way to Children's Hospital.

Whatever.

Hope your feelings of immunity are justified.

Stay safe.

Just as far as farmland goes. Desn't the flooding add nutriants to the soil and flush out build ups of salt and chemicals? I just don't know muchbout that stuff.

<<La. readies to open spillway, flood Cajun country

Horrific. So much good farmland has been damaged by this epic flooding.>>

Something I wonder about. Floods have traditionally been a way to enrich farm land e.g. the Nile. Every year the Nile used to flood and bring fresh soil to the farms along the Nile.

Won't the Mississippi bring new soil to the farms? I am sure there is a difference in the above comparison, but I don't know what it is.
