Pretty early to be opening the gates! Do you think they will be opening the gates at Morganza soon?
Quick update. The corps has started to talk about the possibility. This is usually giving the farmers ranchers and sportsmen notice ahead of the official warning to get ready. It’s not looking good.
I suspected that it may happen. My cousin has a camp, way down in the basin. He lost it the last time they opened up at Morganza. He’s rebuilt, bigger, higher, stronger....I sure hope he doesn’t lose this one. Age and health, won’t allow him to rebuild again!
