I have a feeling there is going to be a lot less food soon. Everywhere is either really dry or flooding.... There is so much flooding and natural disasters going on making it hard to grow crops. Plant your gardens, this year if any.
It follows the idea that the Coastal land loss Louisiana is suffering is actually from this sinking below the Baton Rouge Fault, and not necessarily to sea level increase.

They are opening the Morganza spillway here in Louisiana, the first time since 1973. This along with the Bonnet Carre spillway opening, will result in major flooding to many smaller Louisiana cities and towns.
The Army Corps of Engineers may open the Morganza Spillway near Baton Rouge next week to divert massive amounts of Mississippi River water into the Atchafalaya Delta. It would mark the first time since 1973 that the diversion structure has been used to prevent flooding.

It sounds pretty definate around here. Opening the Bonnet Carre isn't that big of a deal, it has been opened many times before. The Morganza, very rare. Only thing odd concerning the Bonnet Carre is they don't expect cresting of the river here until May 20th, so to open it Monday or Tuesday, is alarming. With the Morganza it's alarming all the way around.
Sorry messed the quoting up, cant figure out how to fix it LOL Bear with me, I will learn.edit on 5-5-2011 by Stormgodess because: (no reason given)
