I guessing he is referring to Bayou Chene. They sink a barge. Did it a few years ago when they opened the Morganza Spillway.

How many feet in BR is needed for the water to reach the Morganza wall?

I'm hearing it will be moved up to Saturday from someone at the USACE office who is monitoring it. It will be open for at least until March 1st assuming no more rain falls in the Midwest. The Miss River stage in New Orleans is not currently expected to fall below 17 feet until early March.
There are concerns about the duration of this flood and the stress on the entire levee system. She also said the Bonnet Carre will be opened up on either Friday or Saturday as well.

Nothing crazy. Monitoring water levels and shite I guess

Governor has already declared state of emergency, therefor NG is just telling their soldiers be ready. There may be call outs. The good old USMCR hasn't said shite. But I'm sure I'll have to take accountability 3 times a day.

Governor can't but he can ask for federal Reserve troops now much easier I believe. Chesty will have to answer bease the order cam out after I got out of the Marines but I think they can be used for natural disasters now. Well, they always could but now it's easier. I forget the details.

The spillway west of Simmesport, Mellville, Krotz Springs, etc. would be used in the event that there was potential for major flooding along the Bayou Des Glaises area due to the Red River or Atchafalaya. If the levee along Bayou Des Glaises would fail most of Avoyelles Parish would be flooded as in the case of 1927. There is a section of levee what they call the Bayou Des Glaises fuse plug that lies roughly along old Hwy 1 that would either be blown up or breeched with machinery allowing the water to flow southward. This would relieve pressure from the levees along the Red, Atchafalaya, and Bayou Des Glaises. If this spillway is ever used the shite has really hit the fan.
Interesting. I was a 13 year old kid back in 1973 and I remember everything along US 71 was flooded, both east and west of the highway all the way up to LeBeau and probably further north.
Thousands and thousands of acres of farmland were under deep water for months. That spring of 1973 those fields were full of crawfish. There were so many crossing the road they were creating a traffic hazard on US 71.

IF this does happen it looks to me that he 3 Mile development along 190 gets flooded. I hope not as they are some real nice homes and camps there.
