60% of all grain exported from US goes out of Port NOLA or Port of South Louisiana (Bloomington says 2/3 of that is out of Port NOLA - no idea what state of the other port is).

River traffic on the Mississippi is halted at Arkansas They think they'll know by monday for how long.

Apparently 1.6 million pounds of coffee (which comes mostly through Port NOLA) is in warehouses in NOLA - probably lost. Incoming traffic can be redirected to other ports.
