Check out my musical journey over the Morganza Spillway on May 16, 2011. At the time of this filming, 9 of the 125 gates are open. According to Wikipedia, The Morganza Spillway, a 3,900-foot (1,200 m) controlled spillway using a set of flood gates to control the volume of water entering the Morganza Floodway from the Mississippi River, consists of a concrete weir, two sluice gates, seventeen scour indicators, and 125 gated openings which can allow up to 600,000 cubic feet per second (17,000 m3/s) of water to be diverted from the Mississippi River into the Atchafalaya Basin during major floods.

  • very appropriate soundtrack

  • In Louisiana we are always facing weather episodes, from floods, to torrential rains, tornadoes and hurricanes, extreme heat and humidity, but there is something in this land that makes people love it more than any other place on earth.
