we re live from america s news headquarters i m harris faulkner. a tough choice in louisiana just hours ago the army corps of engineers opening the morganza spillway. first time in nearly four decades all in an effort to save baton rouge and new orleans from catastrophic flooding. it s a story we are following tonight and means 3,000 surface-to-air miles of farms homes and fishing camps likely endings up over 25 feet of water. one town about to be hit in about an hour. some people in the path still counting their blessings. you can t look at it as being anger. it s just that i guess you can say a way of life that you have to deal with. my feeling is that we got better than some people does with tornadoes. yeah. it could be a lot worse. we have got something to come back to. while some people have been evacuated, some 11,000 homes and businesses still in the water s path. i m harris faulkner coming up a special announcement from mike
to put that flood. officials are debating whether to open the floodgates at the morganza spillway. it could wash out 3 million acres of land. rob marciano live in the middle of it now. the town of tunica up river from new orleans. what s it look like in tunica? i can tell you this is the hardest hit area as for the number of people displaced from their homes. the tunica cutoff north of where i m standing here, that area saw the river rise very quickly. and when it did that, hundreds of people had to evacuate. there s well over 200 homes that are completely flooded out. five or six people that are out of their homes here. and a lot are in the shelter behind me. the red cross shelter is where they had a refuge not just for the past few days but for many of these folks, for the past couple of weeks, this has been a long-term event. far before we started covering it. and it will be a long-term event
