Morganza opening – The third-ever opening of the Morganza Control Structure will began on Sunday when these huge cranes lift the first of the structure’s 125 gates. The facility was built in 1954 to allow diversion of water from then the Mississippi River and reduce the risk of flooding in the Baton Rouge and New Orleans areas.(Courtesy of Rose Hayes)
