Taking Measurements on the Mississippi River and the Bonnet Carré Spillway

From the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS):

Good evening from the big river! We'll be spending the weekend out making measurements on the Mississippi River and the Bonnet Carré Spillway. Check back here for updates as the floodwater crest makes its way out into the Gulf of Mexico. Hope everyone's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend goes well!
