We have been living on the razor's edge for quite some time in South Louisiana. Tropical Storm Juan in the 90's nearly destroyed the Old River Control Structure.
Katrina broke New Orleans.
Rita razed Cameron Parish.
Isaac sank Laplace and was only an inch or two from breaching the levees in Ascension.
2011 river flooding nearly undermined the levees south of Baton Rouge.
I am praying for everyone residing in the Mississippi watershed right now. Generally, when the Ohio is high, the Missouri is low. Right now, every river which flows into the Mississippi has record levels of water racing down it. There's only one place for it all to go.
I just hope the ORCS holds and that we don't have another 1927 on our hands.

I'm far from an expert on the subject but from the numbers they are forecasting I don't see anyway we have another 1927 unless the COE Has drastically miscalculated the strength of our protection system
The other reason is that after having read several books on the subject I don't think it's possible for someone who didn't witness '27 in person to truly understand how bad it was
