A plan to build a new I-10 Calcasieu River bridge in Lake Charles, Louisiana, moved a step closer to reality. It got the nod from a legislative committee.
The heavy rains we got last week here in Southwest and Central Louisiana has caused several lakes and rivers to rise really high and prompt fast action by authorities to close several boat launches.
You have no doubt seen the green vegetation that is washing into Lake Charles from the Calcasieu River. It has been really thick on the west fork of the river. I was curious about what it was and how we can keep it from taking over.
