Wow, that is a lot of damage! The budget was already bare bones for that waterway to begin with. Hope they do fix it. Guess more people will be going through Montreal and New Orleans. Sad.

Wow

I didn't see any of this on the news. Thanks for posting. Talked yesterday to a couple about their trees and power.

I wonder how long this will take to fix, in our present economy.

May be an opportunity for some improvements.
