Record Flood

As the Mississippi River course to sea Delahoussaye, who lives on Atchafalaya Won't just let life this time be Can't enjoy at his home jambalaya For his yard will become playa (Information from internet: Delahoussaye is a biologist and archaelogist who lives 200 ft from the Atchafalaya River but must leave because of the coming flood..Playa is a dry basin that becomes flooded..) Don't think this one is an entry yet..
