The Morganza Spillway will be opened today, flooding a large area on the west side of the Mississippi River. This action is intended to divert flood waters from Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
This floodway will send water down the Atchafalaya River toward Morgan City and into the Gulf. Flood control measures will then have been taken on both sides of the river.
