Secret Louisiana flood chemical contamination delayed, Mandatory evacs - National Human Rights | Examiner.com: "Louisiana residents are warned to prepare for intensive chemical contamination from 1000's of oil wells soon to be under water, despite the flooding in the battered Cajun country moving down river slower than predicted, the crest now expected at Butte LaRose, the midpoint of the river basin, on May 27 at 24.5 feet, and at Morgan City near the Gulf of Mexico on May 29 at 11 feet. Mandatory evacuations are in effect for some communities.
Parish officials welcomed news that the Army Corps of Engineers will likely open only 25 percent of the Morganza Spilway’s capacity rather than the formerly predicted 50 percent, a decision that could lower flood levels."
