Mississippi River and LSU Emergency Operations Center (Campus Activities)

As you are aware, the Mississippi River is rising to record levels in some parts of the country and later this month may reach its highest level since 1927 here in Baton Rouge. I am writing to let you know that the LSU Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is closely monitoring the situation and is in consultation with city, parish and state officials to gather information and make plans should there be adverse effects to the campus as a result of water seepage, sand boils or other more critical developments. In addition, we are fortunate to have the expertise of our own LSU researchers to advise us on potential impacts of the river?s rising level. At this time we are being advised that the river will rise to a level of 47.5 feet on May 23 and will likely maintain at its crest for seven to 10 days. We have been advised the opening of the Morganza Spillway would reduce the eventual crest by one to two feet. All scheduled activities on the LSU campus are still planned, including all final exams and commencement exercises on Friday, May 20. We will keep you informed as we gather more information and make additional preparations.
This was an email sent from LSU regarding the flood and LSU campus activities for those interested.

Didn't really see any titles regarding this email or the floods affect on Commencement on the 20th. But if it's German then "C'est La Vie".

Do yall think there is anyway LSU will cancel the Spring Intersession and/or postpone Graduation Ceremonies?

I see it less likely it'll get that bad. Hell I hope not. Just want to get my graduation over with so I can get to work with the National Guard and get that sweet Staff Sergeant pay.

From what a high river? NO! If it breaks and parts of campus flooded, maybe!

Well they cancel for ice and snow if there is even a possibility of it happening, so who knows with a possible flood.
