Colonel Ed Fleming and General Michael Walsh of the U. S. Army Corp of Engineers stand in front of the Bonnet Carre' Spillway on opening day. From there they were going to the Morganza Spillway to "think" about opening it. It was 89 degrees in he shade.
I hope they do more than think about it! With all the water we have sent down to Memphis and the river is still 4-5 feet above norm, still to high for the ferry to operate as the road on the Iowa side is a little lower and needs to open. Saw Fleming on our TV news this evening and we were looking for you but didn't find you! :-)
