 * Symbol question.svg The source says 8.2 feet, which should be clarified in the hook as it is different from eight feet and two inches. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 23:27, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. Thank you for catching this, Kevin — Maile  (talk) 00:03, 2 April 2014 (UTC)  Well, what it specifically says, Kevin, is 8.2" with the "inch sign to the right of the .2 - which might actually mean 8.2 inches.  Or not. Given that the other locations in Louisiana had 22 inches and 24 inches, I'm thinking it wasn't 8 feet in New Orleans. I'm striking ALT1 altogether.  — Maile  (talk) 00:22, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
