Shawn Eddy looks away from water that is creeping from the Atchafalaya River into his fishing camp's back yard in Happy Camp, La., Tuesday, May 10, 2011. Eddy stopped by his camp to look around in advance of possible flooding brought on by the planned opening of the Morganza Spillway. The Army Corps of Engineers received permission to open the Old River Control Structure north of Baton Rouge, which will divert water from the Mississippi River to the spillway in order to alleviate pressure on river levees.
