My youngest is on a tug in the Mississippi River now, just below Néw Orleans. They were in Port Fourchon last night. My wife is climbing the walls already
Sounds like they're heading as far up the Mississippi as they can. They'll be fine because that boat should float really well. Just show her the video of that tug going under a bridge with the river at flood stage several years ago in either Mississippi or Alabama.
Andrew was a Cat 1, when it got to St. Francisville, La., which is above Baton Rouge, and it sank a tug or two. The ferry operator saw the tugs go down and rescued the fellows. I dont remember if they found them all or not.
Hope they get out of harms way.
