Morganza Spillway
 

Jindal just announced the opening within the next 24 hours. Why 1 will close at 10am and remain closed for 4-8 hours. If you or any family in the way of this water my prayers are with you.

This is sad. I feel for the families and businesses in the path of disaster. Very unfortunate.

It is a very unfortunate event. Prayers to those who will be affected.


Although this is a tragedy, it's an event nature must have; it's how it cleanses itself and allows for new growth. Same principle as wildfires and prescription burning. Nature is cleaning the slate and starting over.

my uncle is evacuating now and we have long time friends in that area. Definitely praying for everyone!

Not good! I know several people that live and have camps in the path,lets pray it does not get too bad.

Forgive my ignorance, but where is all this water coming from?

Snow melting?

Snow melt and record rainfall up north.

All these man made structures will all ways bite them in the Azz!!! Not fare to throw a levee up and let man change mother natures route,,, tell people its safe to build and your not in a flood zone,,,, as man builds levees higher and higher they forget that water that goes over has no path to drain back!!!!

our government at work

If you live where a levee is suppose to protect you or keep water out!!! You can guarantee you will be flooded

W, I live in this area and you are right. If the levee's were not there and the water was allowed to spread out across the land we would hardly notice it.

soo true, I drove over the I10 bridge this a.m. its about 4 or 5 feet from the top of the levee and we are 10 days away from predicted river cresting.

Now they are saying it will open between now and sunday...

Let's see,,,,, Flood New Orleans? Flood Baton Rouge,,, flood Morgan City??

Well Poor New Orleans has to many democrats and they already flooded so will save them

Baton Rouge.. Well they are a huge city that home some of the richest politicians and Our Capital

Morgan City??? Humm what's in Morgan City??? Well nothing I can think of!! Yea let's flood them!!! Ok plan

Prayers sent to the people who will be affected by this

Isn't Morgan City pretty important in the oil & gas industry??

You are so full of bovine fecal matter your eyes are brown! I live in Baton Rouge ,We are protected by levees . You saying we're going to flood ?
get real!

W, you will never outrun your stupidity!!!! Let's see, 1200 acres of farmland and some camps or, Exxon, every plant downstream and 1000's out of a home I'd say, do the math but, to you, 1+1=3! Get real! Stay over there and be the oyster sheriff!

Did you really just say that???? Have you ever looked at the corp of engineers levee system in BR!??? Do you think if a Cat 5 hurricane came right up Baton Rouge Azz it would not flood??? Really????? If you don't think those man made levees can not fail from mother nature!!! Your a fool... Pain and simple
