I fricking hope so. Heard some resevoirs were putting pressures on damns and water was released above the rainfall that had accumulated towards the mouth of the river. Bad news if true.

Yea, thats wrong. There was a blip in the data about 5pm. Ive got it at about 2.6 mcfs.

Had to scale that off of the chart however. I cant find any official cfs values online right now. Could the usace, usgs, noaa, etc have pulled them all down.

please tell me Im wrong...

A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers official says LSU and other infrastructure south of Baton Rouge would be flooded if the Morganza Spillway isn't opened to divert water from the Mississippi River.

Maj. Gen. Michael J. Walsh - president of the Mississippi River Commission and commander of the Vicksburg, Miss.-based division of the Corps - told lawmakers Monday that the Corps likely will open Morganza sometime between Saturday and Tuesday.

Walsh also predicted potential overtopping of the levees at various sites along a 200 mile-stretch south of Baton Rouge if the spillway wasn't used.

That would lead me to think it will top at least 48 if the spillway's not opened.

Army 101...when an O-8 (Major General) says something, you don't have to worry about what the O-6 (Colonel) says.....the division commander has spoken and the brigade commander will execute..
