it was on wwl4. Parish Government put us from flood watch to flood warning a few days ago. The story about the river traffic was on all the local tv news. I think at wwl4 there is a video with them talking about it. According to my mom they talked about it again last night. They said we are at 16.5 right now and flood stage is 17. I'm going to drive up to Angela St. in Arabi and take a pic from the same spot i was the other day and see if there is any difference. Then later today i'm going up to the spillway to check it out. I'll take some pics there if i can get close enough. I hear hundreds of people have been hanging out around there. Someone posted a news cast about it in the St. Bernard forum on nola.com. But that was two days ago, so you'd have to go back a page or two probably. Just ignore all that other bullshiit talk on there, they been frustrated and arguing alot.
