Mississippi could divert river flow threatening Louisiana ports
The Old River Control Structure near Big Bend Louisiana may fail to hold back the Mississippi as flood risks loom. If the river shifts to the Atchafalaya route it could erase New Orleans and Baton Rouge as deep water ports, flood Morgan City Patterson and Berwick, disrupt I 10 and US 190, cut 30 percent of national gas supplies and devastate agriculture and fishing in the Atchafalaya basin.
