In May 2011,  the Mississippi River rose to unprecedented heights, threatening a worst-case scenario of massive flooding throughout metropolitan New Orleans and other outlying regions.Two spillways north of the city opened that month diverting waters into Lake Ponchartrain and the Atchafalaya Basin, but the river still ran high through June.
