bullshite. Morganza floods a bunch of farmland.
Can you read?

The river has to be much higher to trigger a Morganza opening and it impacts way more people than a Bonnet Carre opening

Bonnet Carre wipes out salt water wildlife off the coast of Louisiana, Mississippi, and even into Alabama.
Didn't know fish were people

Farmland isn't people either, shitbird.
Way more people get impacted when the offshore industry is destroyed by annually opening Bonnet Carre.
frick the people in the atchafalaya. They knew they were in floodlands.

There are plenty of towns and houses in the spillway between Morganza and the Gulf.

Oh, your true colors came out.

There is zero impact outside of some crying Mississippi fishermen. I said both should be opened as little as possible and that Bonnet Carre has become an overused crutch. But you've come in here like an emotional woman.

The river is going to do what God wants it to do. No prediction agency can supersede that.
Since when is the “prediction agency” (NOAA - NWS - USACE) trying to supersede God?

5 openings in 5 years from 2016-2020. It was opened 10 times in 80 years before that.
Is it possible the river is silting at a higher rate in the New Orleans area?
Or is the entire area sinking at a faster rate?

This was the topic of discussion during those years. If it was a natural occurrence or because of a shallowing river bed.

At the risk of turning this into a pissing contest, if you are old like me- the Morganza spillway is the Morganza spillway… But the Bonnet Carre spillway is simply “The Spillway”.. no need to use the full name , we know which one you are talking about .. for Morganza you have to say the full thing .

Kinda depends on where you live, Sport. I guarantee you no one in Pointe Coupee Parish thinks of the Bonne Carre when someone refers to the “Spillway.” Likewise, for surrounding parishes.

Neither Bonne Carre or Morganza will open. Got to get a lot higher and there is 2+ weeks of no rain predicted

What are those feet measuring? The river is much deeper through N.O. Are those feet above sea level?

Couldn’t be farther from the truth. “The Spillway” is a 5 mile wide strip of land that cuts through a large part of south Louisiana. The Bonnet Carre Spillway is a ditch in comparison.

I’m assuming all this rain from Arkansas up into the Midwest is going to find the way into the MS River then head south.
Wouldn't most of that water end up in the Ouachita River => Black River => Red River => Atchafalaya river?

And the Missouri River is longer upstream than the Mississippi River is from their confluence near St Louis and the flow rate isn’t much different. They got the Mississippi River naming wrong twice. What’s called the Mississippi River should only be from Minnesota to St Louis.
