They're holding back just a little bit longer.
The much-anticipated opening of the Morganza Spillway has been
postponed as authorities juggle changing forecasts, a river elevation
threatening to overtop the structure, and a hesitance to put any more
water in the Atchafalaya floodway than is necessary.
The U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers on Thursday announced the Morganza Spillway's gates
north of Baton Rouge on the Mississippi River will not begin opening
Sunday as expected, but will be pushed back to June 6.
Probably dealing with an understandably panicked response from people who have to get out of the way.
