There are pics going around of a levee slide up around deer park near Blackhawk. Ill see if I can get them posted
I passed there yesterday and water was higher up the levee, and there were no corp or construction vehicles to indicate a fix was needed (which I assume they'd be working on, even on Fat Tuesday). I'd go with old pics.
Yesterday's forecast was up .5' but still no reason to believe they'll open Morganza. Old River Control structure had about 9 gates open (shorter structure) and water that was being pumped was volatile, to say the least. Longer structure had more gates open, with more of a steady flow.

Pumped? Huh?

I drive by that area daily. The pics of the slide are recent as I looked at it yesterday while checking wells. The slide is about 1 mile North of LDWF headquarters at Shaw. Only about 1/4 mile south of the large sand boil in borrow pit on land side that had USACE haul several thousand tons of dirt and Limestone in to stop the flow last year.Currently clearing timber along borrow pit to drill relief wells to direct water flow to surface. By drilling the wells USACE are trying to prevent the seepage under the levee from moving material
