Re: River is fixing to get serious, boys!!!
Vidalia levees are at 70 feet. COE are confident that the levees will hold the water unless overtopped at Vidalia. I'm hearing mumblings about St. Joe/Waterproof area. The levee there is at 63.5 ft.Deltamud77 wrote:Blackduck wrote:I heard 67.5 in Natchez. Completely out of control.
I think that is like 7 feet higher than the Vidalia side levee...wow.

They are not barricaded or anything but you are only supposed to be on them if going to your property, to retrieve things, etc. Before it's all said and done, they'll probably be closed.

Re: River is fixing to get serious, boys!!!
They will be closed to ALL traffic saturday night at midnight. Only levee personel and law enforcement will be allowed on levee after then.Deltaquack wrote:They are not barricaded or anything but you are only supposed to be on them if going to your property, to retrieve things, etc. Before it's all said and done, they'll probably be closed.

Coahoma is shut to everyone. they filed papers on the CEO of Casinos for getting on it. Friend had his boat trailer confiscated this weekend. when he went to check on his camp and move a few more things. my boss left some stuff that would have been ok with early projections but will be lost now with the new ones. he's highly ticked off that he cant go in at coahoma but bolivar county can.

Nothing at this point. The river is really not exceptionally high right now. Nothing that it hasn't been numerous times before. It's just all anticipation right now that's driving everyone. Click the link below to hear the Vidalia meeting from this morning.

How does the levee system in Arkansas compare to the one in Mississippi? Is there a greater chance of it breaking or topping as opposed to ours?

A warden is posted at the cattle gap, going up on the levee at Benoit Outing Club....'course he hangs out over there pretty much all the time, anyway.
