Well this isn't good news - the Corps of Engineers is going to open the Bonnet Carre spillway for the first time in 11 years.
For those who do not know, the Bonnet Carre spillway (pronounced "Bonnie Carray") is located just upriver of New Orleans, and is used to divert water from the Mississippi River into Lake Pontchartrain when River water levels could threaten New Orleans.
After Katrina, we get kinds twitchy down here when folks start talking about high water.
