Oh, the Woe and Misery . . .

Oh, the woe and misery predicted by the liberal press over using the Morganza Floodway seems to have disappeared from the national scene entirely.

Earlier, it was, "You are going to flood a town, to flood Butte LaRose." Now they have seen (a) the flood is not tramatic but presistent and (b) it has not over whelmed the town nor the spillway for that matter.

It appears the dry/drought conditions have soaked up a lot of the water and while the Atchafalaya is rising, it is not inundating everything around it. Yes, there is more to come and there are yet some small communities in the line of fire, those communities knew it and are preparing for it.

It could be disaster down river from Morganza, now it is not even close. Some worry, some risk but the real pressure of over topping the levees is gone.

The Morganza Spill worked, the Old River Structure is still in place and the June rise has yet to ocurr. Yes, there will be yet another highwater condition coming down stream but not as severe as the present one.

Old Man River is doing what Old Man River wants to do, within limits.
