The river is up and has been on the levee for a while. My uncle and everyone else who has cattle on the levee are required to get them off the levee so there is a bit of a liquidation here. The seep water is making a mess out of the "dry" side of the levee and there are seep springs showing up all over. I heard they were going to open the Atchafalaya Rviver at at the Morganza spillway, northwest of Baton Rouge.

They should probably be sending a lot more down the Atchafalaya instead of the Mississippi anyway to restore the wetlands but this is a rare event. Look at the MS in the link above and you will see that we blocked off the Atchafalaya some time ago which allows the MS to go out to the open Gulf of Mexico instead of restoring the wetlands that are being lost.
