The situation is so serious that Xu believes a "megaflood" could overpower a giant flood control structure north of New Orleans and send the Mississippi River rushing down another path entirely and creating a new route to the Gulf of Mexico. That would allow the Gulf to push saltwater upstream into the river, ruining the drinking water supply for metropolitan New Orleans, according to a summary of Xu's 2017 presentation to the American Geophysical Union.
Well now. shite’s getting real.

Bump for Flood Baws:
We out of the woods on this one, or could we still have problems?

RIVER hasnt gone down in Louisiana yet and midwest is starting to get soaked
Posted on 3/30/19 at 5:04 pm to Ignignot
good thing the midwest is only a very small portion of the river's makeup.

What's the latest on the river's next crest? Last week I saw talk of river going to be at a level higher than 2011, but haven't seen anything as an updated forecast this week.

It's not expected, and hasn't been expected, to break 2011 levels. Rainfall over the Ohio River Valley is what we need to watch but at this point there's nothing extreme in the pipeline to be concerned about.
This is a long lasting flood though, quite a test of endurance for the levee system.

In high water events like this, Louisiana should try blowing out a piece of the levee on the west side of the river near Myrtle Grove and dump all that spoil into barataria bay. After the water drops in the summer, rebuild the levee.

Im sure the people who live there would like that

there aren't a lot of people living there any more...
personally, I'd leave a permanent gap in the levee in that vicinity...and build a bridge so the water can flow any time it's high enough
of course the oystermen will be having a fit...there is nothing more obstreperous than a St Bernard or Plaquemines Parish oysterman!!!!!

I was looking on Google Earth the other day and had this idea as well. It seems like this would be a no brainer. I just assume it has to with shipping channels.

I don’t know how the state issues leases but there should be a cap on the number of years and once we get to that end of the term, the state should be able to come in and put exclusions to itself protecting itself from them and allowing them to do what ever is necessary in changing the hydrolic nature of the ecosystem. Or the state just needs to stop giving leases or oyster permits in places of planned coastal projects.
Fun fact, the oystermen have made the livelihoods on a fake ecosystem that was created by the plugging of the Mississippi River that allowed salt water to get to places it shouldn’t. And once the river was plugged and salt water intrusion became an issue, it opened up so many more places for oyster beds because of the increased salinity in the water. That let the area to grow and harvest oysters to increase exponentially.

Big rains north of Memphis today. More rain coming over the weekend. Look for another rise to come after all this rain

Bump for the Bonnet Carre being opened again, the first time it has been opened twice in a calendar year.

Bonnet Carre Spillway opening at 1 p.m. Friday because of heavy rains
quote:
Heavy rains in the region feeding the lower Mississippi River on Thursday and expected through the weekend has forced the Army Corps of Engineers to reopen the Bonnet Carre Spillway as early as 1 p.m. on Friday, three days earlier than expected.
quote:
“Regional rainfall caused the Mississippi River to rise 6 inches in the past 24 hours with more rain expected through the weekend,” said corps spokesman Matt Roe in a press release issued Friday morning. “These rains could elevate the Mississippi River above 17 feet with a peak as high as 17.5 feet at the Carrollton Gage. In an abundance of caution the operation date is being moved forward to ensure the safe passage of this high water by limiting the elevations downriver of the spillway.”
quote:
This is the second time the spillway will be opened this year, a first for the structure since it was built in the aftermath of the historic Mississippi River flood of 1927. It’s the 14th time the structure will have been opened.
