what that article doesn't say about the morganza spillway is that they don't know that the thing will close again.
shipping may be cutoff from baton rouge south. this will affect not only the local economy, but the nation as well.

This isn't going to be the event that allows the Mississippi to take the course it wants to the Gulf down the Atchafalaya basin. Now failure at the Old River Control structure, which almost happened in 1973, would be absolutely devastating for New Orleans as the city would need a new source of drinking water because saltwater intrusion would occur almost to Baton Rouge.

I'll get a good look at the water levels in the Morganza spillway when I drive over it on 190 in a few weeks.
