Is Morganza gonna open????River is set to crest at 17' in mid January. At 20' it will over top the levees in New Orleans..


They didn't update the Miss River rise for Reserve and New Orleans today. If you look upstream though the River would probably be around 17.5 to 18 in New Orleans. River Ridge is the most vulnerable spot on the Miss River having almost breached through in 72. They can't have that happen.

They won't change the crest elevation in reserve and New Orleans Bc the corp won't let it get any higher. They'll open every gate they can upstream to prevent New Orleans getting above 17'.

Look at the chart the crest in NOLA is 17 on 1/9 all the other crest are later in the month that is because the BC spillway will be open at 17ft on the Carrollton gage. The CORPS will not let it get higher. So plan for the BC to open on the 8th or 9th as of now. Our guess is they will hold off on Morganza for now. This will be a short peak not much water behind it.
