FILE - In this May 18, 2011 file photo, floodwater is seen rushing from the Mississippi River, above right, into the Atchafalaya Basin through open bays of the Morganza Spillway in Morganza, La. As the Mississippi River rises, the Morganza Spillway will be opened for the third time ever — and only the second time for flood control on on Sunday, June 2, 2019. The Army Corps of Engineers plans to begin opening the Morganza Spillway on Sunday, June 2. 2019. For three days water will rise one foot (one-third meter) a day on a 112-square-mile (290-square-kilometer) floodway, to let wildlife escape. (AP Photo/Rich Matthews, File)
