If opening the BC spillway doesn't alleviate pressure upstream, then how did opening Morganza in 1973 help save the ORCS from failing?
Look back a few pages I pulled some data that showed the effect of opening the BC spillway was small.
The Morganza Spillway on the other hand is so close to the ORCS and pulls twice the flow from the Mississippi that it does effect the ORCS. In the same breath the Morganza Spillway would have a small effect on the M River in Vicksburg.

FYI people.
I was in Mississippi County, Missouri, last night when the USACE blew the levee. 240,000 pounds of explosive slurry was used. The detonation was felt by people in six states. It shook houses, broke widows and many people thought it was an earthquake.
I spent today traveling along the secondary levee checking water levels. They are very high in the north end of the floodway, high in the south end and water has not reached the center yet, but it will.
You cannot believe the water. Two additional Missouri levees and one in Illinois were breached by the river itself.
This flood is Biblical and regardless of anything you may want to believe Louisiana is going to get its arse knocked off when the water flows south. Prepare for it, be ready and be strong.

Morganza is much closer to ORCS, so the drop in head @ Morganza has a bigger effect. Not to mention, Morganza pulls more cfs than Bonnet Carre.
Beat me to it.

Not cool. Thanks for the update though. Do you work for a private company or for the corps?

Thanks. I spoke to one of my good friends this morning, he is a member of a hunting club just outside of Clarksdale. The water from the river is almost at the top of the bluff and the entire 8,000 acres is already flooded amywhere from 3-6 feet. His house there is on top of an old levee and he is hoping for the best. The property is outside of the Federal levee.

What I posted is incorrect.
It is THREE additional Missouri levees that were breached by the river itself.

Where are the river flood warnings for BR?

Don't worry, they will be back.

It is odd that they are currently down, however. Maybe it's just a glitch?
