water everywhere...

You've probably heard about the little Mississippi River flooding problem...well the water is heading South and is reaching some parts of Louisiana now and during the next two weeks...I took these pictures yesterday of the Bonnet Carre Spillway between Destrehan and LaPlace

There were police stationed at the area, and more than a few cars stopped to view the water...

In March when Shane did the Warrior Dash, the area below was the race site...as in NOT under water...

check out the TOPS of trees below...

look how close the water is to the road...Shane says normally this area is dry and dotted with picnic tables 

The water should reach it's peak on May 23

Many Louisiana residents are preparing for flooding.  My friend Anna Lisa's parents live in a specifically precarious area on a water bank...They have spent a week moving pictures and family heirlooms to safer, higher ground.

Side Note: One of Morgan's nicknames is "Morganza" and when people started talking about the opening of the Morganza Spillway, Morgan couldn't understand why all of the adults were talking about her...My Nervous Nelly...

I'll keep you posted on the rising water...and for all of the people affected by the flooding throughout the US...
