Morganza Spillway opened, and Louisiana National Guard is assisting Parish EOCs prepare




Well, I have been on active duty for over a week, and I am the task force commander responsible for helping 6 parishes plan for high water from the opening of the Morganza spillway and potential flooding from the Mississipi river.


To the left is a picture of HHC 256th STB soldiers assisting with the emplacement of a Tiger Dam to help keep high waters out of a local community in Pierre Part, Louisiana.


More pictures and information to follow.
