Four Central Louisiana parishes expected to see some flooding
Communities near rivers in Central Louisiana continue preparing for the worst as an overloaded Mississippi River threatens to flood cities near the river and its tributaries.
Meanwhile, the process to open 28 of the 350 floodgates of the Bonnet Carre Spillway was begun Monday began by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and officials are still deciding whether to open the Morganza Spillway to provide further relief from the surging Mississippi waters.
Local officials are making plans in case levees are breached.
According to the latest estimated inundation maps released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, parts of Avoyelles, Catahoula, Concordia and LaSalle parishes are expected to flood.
Concordia Parish officials decided on Monday to move to Level 2 of the parish’s evacuation plan, which is the suggested pre-planning for evacuation and pre-packaging of irreplaceable property. Level 3 in a voluntary evacuation, while Level 4 is a mandatory evacuation.

Video about Giant Arbs and how fast they grow in the Landscape Thuja Green Giant arbs growth Rate see http://www.greengiantarbs.com for more about green giants and how fast they grow. We are Highland Hill farm of Fountainville Pa 18923 call us at 215 651 8329 The original Green Giant got its name not from ancient lore, but from unusually extra large, hence “giant,” green peas. These “Green Giant Peas” were introduced by the Minnesota Valley Canning Company in 1925, in contrast to their previously marketed LeSueur baby peas, early-picked in June. Founded in 1903, this pea company was located in the valley of the Minnesota River, the Dakota Sioux name for “cloudy water,” just southwest of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the state capital. This is where there’s a “confluence” with the even cloudier and muddier Mississippi River giving the whole area, including the surrounding towns like LeSueur, the title of “the Minnesota Valley.” Lesueur is the name of the original explorer of the area, a Frenchmen of the early 1700’s. By 1950, the “Jolly Green Giant” was so popular, such an “icon” as we say today, with a cartoon character created, etc., he became the basis of the company’s new name. So that is where Green Giant comes from, modern marketing, not ancient lore…
The Green Giant Arborvitae is more properly named by tree scientists the “Thuja Plicata,” with the other common historic names being, “giant cedar,” also “western cedar,” and “red cedar.” There’s only one other Arborvitae specie in all of North America, the “eastern cedar,” or “white cedar,” with “Thuja Occidentalis,” as the tree scientist’s Latin name, the botanist’s name. This short tree is actually what we usually think of when the “genus” juniper is mentioned.
Funny that the eastern cedar was given the Latin name for “west” which is “occidental.” You see? As I have observed before, what’s in a name? Highland Hill Farm is not located in a town called Highland Hills, or, on Highland Hill Road, etc. Scottish Highland Hills cows that we grazed on our first property provided our company with a distinctive name when we sold our first trees in 1978.
