The Morganza Spillway directs water from the MS into the Atchafalaya Basin/River. When it opens, farm lands along the Atchafalaya will flood. The Parish I live in will be effected. I'm about 12 miles south of the Atchafalaya River & 1/4 mile from the Bayou Tech so I'm good. Since the announcement that the Morganza Spillway will be open, I've been feeling lots of sadness in the air. And hearing it at the stores in my area. People living in the area's that will be flooded are feeling helpless. Many are staying and going to ride-it-out.
Here is info from one of our local tv stations if anyone is interested. https://katc.com/news/around-acadiana/20...to-expect/
On a positive note, yesterday morning I rescued a big turtle from certain death in the middle of a street. I brought it back to the bayou and it swam off a happy camper.
