Still seeing a lot of Qs (inc from New Orleans friends texting me, lol) about saltwater intrusion, so here’s a thread recap: — a low Mississippi River means salt is coming up from Gulf. There’s not enough rain in the forecast (we need 10” across Miss River valley) to stop it.

It's not always easy to remember our most iconic & inspiring figures as the wonderfully human & multilayered folks they were. This picture of two of the 20th century's very best Americans & humans helps me do so. Rest in peace & power, Mr. Belafonte.
