Couple recent pics of the Mississippi River in New Orleans.

My friend posted these on facebook from today or yesterday. I'm from there and never seen it this high before, and I dont think its supposed to crest for a week or something. Crazy. Hard to tame mother nature.

How much higher do you think it is from pics, from the norm?

Judging by the photos looks anywhere from 2-4 ft difference. I would be way more worried about the current strengths flowing in..

Yeah Id say bout 2-4 feet or something like that. I know those steps go pretty far down. I just wonder how much more is on the way. After I got flooded out in Katrina I left. lol
