Original Message
Looks like Louisiana may be in for severe flooding!! The Corp of Engineers is saying they will probably have to open the Morganza Spillway which will release the Mississippi River into rural areas of Louisiana due to the amount of water coming down the Mississippi river.

"One of the major barriers that keeps the Mississippi River on its course could be opened for only the third time in its history. The opening would be the result of rising river levels and could also flood parts of Louisiana, which would affect businesses in the region, according to Bloomberg.
The Army Corps of Engineers may be forced to open the Morganza Floodway, a lengthy dam-like barrier that redirects 600,000 cubic feet, or 17 million liters of water, per second to take pressure off the Mississippi. The river has been at high levels since last October as a result of massive rainfalls that have also had a negative effect on crops in the region."
If you live in the area, you should be plan accordingly.
