bonnet carre spillway

The Army Corps of Engineers is taking steps to help Louisiana deal with rising rivers. The Bonnet Carre Spillway was opened on Sunday. The Morganza Spillway could be opened by midweek.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has spoken: People who live in the Morganza floodway need to prepare to evacuate.  Earlier today, Jindal said it's just a matter of time before the rising river level makes opening the flood control structure a necessity.
