R.C. One option would be to get up the Port Allen Route above Bayou Sorrell Locks but that is still a pretty good haul from the Industrial Canal. I have seen a 5 foot surge go up the Miss. River once or twice.
Yes, I have had a little boating experience in your neighborhood but it was a few years back when the side wheeled steam boats plied those waters.

For those hurricane followers, yes I know that Katrina hit N.O. with a hard surge, but it came in the backdoor up the MRGO (fifty or so miles to the Gulf) while the Miss. R. is 110 miles up from the Gulf. Camille brought a surge up the River in 69.
