Underneath the Governor Nicholls Street Wharf in New Orleans on Wednesday, October 19, 2022. Water from the Mississippi River typically covers this area.

Interesting photos of the extremely low level of the Mississippi River around the New Orleans area. The pictures say it all. the River is at historic lows, if you have the chance to see it in person I suggest you do so, chances like this come around rarely.

I like looking at the photos, thanks.

Thumbs up!

It would be ironic is plants in the wetlands died of lack of water.

Don't say that, lol

I hear that there is rain in the forecast...

Yep, up and down the basin too.
