As I remember the days of the tragic Historic Flood that happen on August 13, 2016; in Baton Rouge, LA many of my family members, and friends were affected, and it was very devastating and terrifying all at once. Even though I myself wasn’t affected as much by the Historic Flood I still endured a lot of emotional disbelief for my family and friends. I felt heart broken by what was actually happening to my family and friends, all I could think about at the time was lending out any help I could to…

a swift and resistless river between him and Rattlesnake Hill” (14). Another setting aspect that affects the story greatly is the character’s way of life in the small mountain town that they live in. The roads in the town are not as good and they flood easily, so…

“Isaac and History of Jocassee” There are so many ways to look at the character Isaac. Isaac is the son of Amy Holcombe and raised as the son of Billy Holcombe, but is Holland Winchester’s son. Everyone in town can tell that Isaac is the son of Holland Winchester. Isaac is even asked by many people in the community if he is a Winchester.

Should Dams be Removed? Dams in the United States play very important roles in controlling the waterways and for transportation purposes, but is the destruction of the rivers and surrounding land worth it?

n 1970, engineers from Fraoli-Blum-Yesselman Associates began a project to design the proposed Hartford Civic Center Arena. The engineers came up with a unique roof frame design they called a space roof. The 300 by 360 ft. roof frame consisted of top and bottom square grids with joints 30 feet on center, connected by diagonal bars that caused staggered nodes on the top and bottom grid bars, resembling pyramid trusses when they were finished. This non-standard design was intended to save on costs…

The slow moving system sat over the Baton Rouge region for days dumping more than 31 inches of rain in some areas before proceeding west and continuing to drench parts of Texas. Southern Louisiana is accustom to rain, but this system resulted in record flooding within the region and areas that had never experienced flooding were…

On the night of August 25th 2016, a tragedy hit the towns of Connellsville and Bullskin. A flood, a devistating flood, ripped through the neighboorhoods and highways like there was no tomorrow. At my house in Connellsvile Township, the flood waters rose in an instant. It felt like a normal storm at first, but once the tornado warnings started showing up around us, it was serious. The wind and rain became heavier, and my anxiety started taking over. As my family was in the basement preparing for…

Due to poor construction, the floodwall broke the flood wall and levee and like a tsunami, the water flooded New Orleans. The second and third flood walls also collapsed and result in more than eighty percent of the city in water and thousands of people were banished. The levees and flood water failure led…
