ETA: also, won’t the opening of the morganza help the belle river/ verret area, while hurting the areas around morganza?

Quite the opposite. The lower Grand turns into Belle river and all that flows down to Morgan city and into the spillway via Bayou Chene. My camp has had 3' of water around it for a week. When the spillway is high, all that water drains painfully slow. When they sink that barge and block the drainage, any new rains will make the already flooded rivers rise faster and more.
It's a fricked up situation all around.
