According to the Corp of Engineers, New Orleans District, for 106 days of 2025, Phase 1 has been active as a proactive measure because levels have remained at or above 11 feet at the Carrollton Gage.
Now that river levels have dropped, and officials with the National Weather Service reportedly forecast that levels will continue to drop, subsurface work within 1,500 feet of levees will be allowed to resume.

‘The Voice, It Turned Out, Belonged to a Small, Older Woman'
Supermoon Dear Diary: I was walking down a street on the Upper East Side one fall weeknight, lost in some personal problem, when I heard a voice shout: 'Stop!' The voice, it turned out, belonged to a small, older woman in a maroon coat. 'Back up and look up,' she said. I did as I was told. The several steps back I took brought me out from under an awning so that suddenly I could see the moon, big and brilliant, hanging over the street. I hadn't noticed just how bright a night it was. 'It's a supermoon,' the woman said. 'I heard about it on the radio. NPR. I just had to come out and see it.' 'And,' she continued, pointing the pint container in her hand heavenward, 'why wouldn't I get myself some ice cream, too?' 'It's wonderful,' I said, and we stood right there, listening to the happy clatter from a nearby Italian restaurant and admiring the supermoon together. — Sarah Skinner Submit Your Metropolitan Diary Your story must be connected to New York City and no longer than 300 words.

Gulf low moving west Tuesday night with potential for development
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The National Hurricane Center continues to have a 40% chance of tropical development as a low moves west across northern Florida. It will be key to watch tonight and Wednesday morning see exactly where this moves off the coast. How far offshore that it goes will be a big factor on how much this can develop, if any. Most of the heavy rain with this system is on the west and southwest side of the center. It actually looks like that trend will continue as it moves west, and we will likely start to see some rain with this system by late in the day Wednesday. At the moment it looks like a depression or possibly a tropical storm that moves west into our area by Thursday. Heavy rain will likely be the main impact. Locally heavy rain amounts could create flooding issues. While most of the area would be more likely to see 3-6″ of rain, some spots could reach 10 inches depending on where the center goes and any banding that sets up. A flood watch is in effect from Wednesday evening through Friday. There is a lower end chance of significant tropical development. However if this system remains far enough to the south, we could see intensification. Be aware of the threat of a stronger system over the area later in the week. However the rain would likely still be the main Posts Tropical rain on the way across the northern Gulf Bayou Dularge bridge reopens for limited hours in Terrebonne Parish Trump funding cuts to PBS set to hit free educational content for kids Largest piece of Mars on Earth sells at New York auction for over $5 million Are hot dogs really that bad for you?
