Since the first levee was built in New Orleans in 1717, we have been trying to manage America's rivers. But now our infrastructure is failing. And if we don't compromise on a plan to restore (or strategically remove) our dams, levees, and locks and give our waterways more space, flooding events will continue to devastate entire communities over and over again. Tyler J. Kelley is a journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The New Yorker, among many other national publications. His first book, Holding Back the River: The Struggle Against Nature on America's Waterways, was published in April 2021. On this episode of Reversing Climate Change, Tyler joins Ross to explain why riverboat traffic is still important to the US economy, moving more than 1,000 semi-trucks' worth of vital commodities daily. Tyler discusses the extensive work we've done to manage rivers in the US, describing how much land would be unlivable without levees and why the risks of flooding will only increase with climate change. Listen in for Tyler's insight on the Dutch Delta Works project to give land back to the rivers and fortify existing infrastructure and learn how we might create a similar comprehensive flood control plan to protect communities here in the US.

The home of North Jackson resident Fred Clark Sr was essentially sliced in half by a tree during Tuesday's tornado.

Many of the events that people across the region regularly attend were put on hold -- Bourbon Street and the French Quarter fell quiet. Jazz Fest and many parades were cancelled. Now, New Orleans is allowing gatherings of up to five hundred people. And a few weeks ago, Mardi Gras Indians held a second line funeral, a parade to honor a local icon: Keelian Boyd otherwise known Big Chief Dump.
