First Pins Pulled

Bonnet Carie Spillway, Montz Louisiana

The Bonnet Carie Spillway was opened today to relieve water pressure on the leaves down river from the structure. The New Orleans gauge was at 16.9 feet today with flood stage being 17 feet. The plan is to only open enough bays to keep the river from going over 17 feet and keep it open till its crest.

Cool Breland, should I bring my kayak?

Hope that works to ease the pressure on the levees, Breland. Excellent job of catching the workers 'pulling the plug' with the interested observers in the foreground. Best to you, Dick:)
