Looks like we gonna get 2019 Bonnet Carre 2.0

That's 3 times in just over a year, counting last year's opening.
Either just bad weather luck, or, there's more runoff into the river happening north of us.
Opening the B-C causes a lot of problems for marine wildlife down here. And while the safety of humans will always be the first priority, as it should be, once again it looks like LA has to deal with the poor decisions of others.

Accumulating too much snow. Those unbelievable bastards.

What happened when the river flooded before 1930?

Rivers will continue to flood more often with more and more concrete replacing earth.

Overdevelopment
Increases runoff, reduces natural ground drainage

over 100 years ago, you didn't have the chemicals and shite running off into the river and being dumped into the wetlands.
If the water was clean, it would be fine.

Why aren't they doing at least a partial opening of ORCS to ease the need for BC or to prepare for the rise coming from all the water coming from the north?

I heard this very thing less than an hour ago at an emergency management conference.

Because they are scared shitless to open ORCS
So, it's only opened if the situation is absolutely desperate. While this sucks, it's not desperate.

So like New Orleans?
And all of the man made measures to prevent the shifting of the river?

No not like new orleans
Posted on 5/8/19 at 3:37 pm to TheMailman
when are they going to be opening it again?

The fact that you reference chemicals being a contributor to water quality issues, and that you start sentences with "and" prove to me you're a dumb-arse.

USACOE has already called a presser for tomorrow

The Corps has called a press conference to discuss the high water levels for Thursday.
The Corps office in New Orleans has not yet made a recommendation, a step needed before officials in Vicksburg, Mississippi, can decide whether to open the spillway. But Corps spokesman Ricky Boyett said on Wednesday that "the forecast indicates we would exceed the triggers for Bonnet Carre."
