Re: OT: Mississippi River Aquapocalypse 2019
Back on topic, I’ve heard that ACoE has notified landowners to remove movable property out of the Morganza Spillway. I haven’t confirmed this, so it may just be rumor at this point but I think with the degradation of the levee up around Blackhawk Plantation they may need to relieve som pressure.

tRump's rollbacks are not helping.

Go to the your favorite APP store and download USACE Vicksburg APP. It will give you access to lots of valuable information. The Mississippi river stages are predicted to drop after the 15th of March at most stations along the lower reaches of the river. It really needs to do this because once snow melt starts it will probably come up again. The app has a link to twitter feed and river stages.

I did some test wells south of this location and found the Evangeline Aquifer to be brackish so we were not interested in exploring any deeper.
huh?

You have any info on the degradation of the levee?

However, if you look at the NOAA/NWS experimental forecast (which goes out 16 days of expected weather vs 2 days) it shows that the river starts to drop but immediately reverses and starts to rise again. This is due to the forecasted weather for this weekend. I would assume the official forecast will reflect the long term change in the next few days.
From my completely pedistrian view, this does not look good at all. Red River landing will be at least 12ft above flood stage for over 3 weeks. That has to take a toll on the levees. If there are more rain events in the Mississippi valley or warmer weather that increases snow melt then the river at RR could push all time levels. I really think they will have to open Morganza.

Correct, but I think we need to be thankful for any lowering of river stages we can get right now. Any lowering of the water surface will give us some breathing room. A little bit of something is better than a lot of nothing.
