I just drove out to the Butterfly (for those not in New Orleans, it's a riverside park) and looked at the river... it is HIGH. At least 10 feet above where it usually is, and my guess was that it is moving about 15 miles an hour as opposed to its usual four.... if that's anywhere close to correct it would mean there's about 5 times as much water just flowing through N.O. as you see on a typical day. Kind of scary for those of us who live here.
