Good Current News Update! The Army Corps of Engineers have closed 3 gates in the Morganza Spillway on Tuesday 24th - Wednesday 25th. That means we have gone from the 17, that have been open since last Wednesday 18th, down to 14. Last week from Monday 16th - Wednesday 18th, we went from 12 gates open, to 17.
They do not expect to open any gates in the future as levels all along the Mississippi River are slowly dropping.
The primary focus now is the Atchafalaya River, which the Morganza Spillway water eventually joins with, in the flood basin. Morgan City, which is along this river, is expected to crest at 11ft. late this weekend. Please visit an ad on this page if time allows :-)
