Great article. Great newspaper!
Augusta needs more “oversights.” Like the sprinklers left on at the stadium, the frozen pipes in the boathouse, the clogged drain pipes at Diamondhead. Without those oversights life would be pretty boring around here. Wonder what the next oversight will be.
Tear down that *&^% LEVEE! With the three dams on the river, it serves no useful purpose anymore. As we saw in ’90 when the canal overflowed, it caused problems by not allowing the water to run back into the river. The downtown riverfront would be so much nicer without it.
WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A FLOOD DOWNTOWN IN 90 IF SOMEONE HAD OPEN FLOOD GATES AT 13TH STREET, SAME PROBLEM COUPLE YEARS AGO WHEN CITY GARAGE FLOODED, NOBODY OPEN FLOOD GATES
Interesting. I was working at Walton Rehabilitation and we evacuated to UH thinking the canal would flood our side. Instead it flooded UH. What a mess and dangerous night.
