What drying runs into in Morgan City
Serving Morgan City and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Morgan City house dates to 1969, with close to nine in ten of the stock (91.5 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1960s work. Around a median of 1969 with more than nine in ten houses older, the town sits inside a ring of protection with a major distributary channel running alongside it, carrying an enormous share of the river's flow.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Morgan City has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 45.4 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in August at 7.27 inches of an annual 58.51; both figures recorded at MORGAN CITY, 2.1 miles away. August is the wettest month at 7.27 inches of a 58.5-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the heaviest rain arrives in the storm season; rain falling inside the ring has nowhere to go while the channel outside is high.
How water losses tend to end in Morgan City
- Local rainfall trapped inside the protection, so it has to be pumped rather than drained
- A channel carrying flow decided far upstream, so the level is set by basin-wide operation
- Total dependence on pumping, so the system and the power behind it are the whole defense
