Okay, it is time to load the pictures from May 15th thru 19th.  I will try to scale the wall tomorrow and get some daylight pictures from unprotected side of the seawall and levee.  They closed the last gate in Morgan City today, which near my house today. :(

Morgan City river banks are somewhat higher than the normal river levels.  It takes a flood stage of 4.5' to actually overflow the river banks.  Here at the Front Street Wharf it take about 6.5' to reach the top of the wharf.  On May 19th it had reached a flood stage of 8' which covers the wharf, with a prediction to reach 11' by Tuesday - Wedesday of next week.
