Mississippi River Booms to Record Level at New Orleans
Advices from New Orleans report the Mississippi gauge fluctuating between 18 and 18.2 feet, the highest ever known, surpassing all official records. Levees show mud deposits where water washes over aprons, but authorities deny added danger and deploy temporary barriers as embankments are maintained. In St Bernard and Plaquemine parishes levees bear the brunt of wave wash, yet crews strive to keep water out while dry weather aids improvements. Overall, despite the rising river, the situation is described as satisfactory.
