REFILE - CORRECTING SPELLING OF TOWN'S NAME Cindy Menard walks near her couch which has been placed atop cinder blocks in preparation of floods in Butte LaRose, Louisiana May 16, 2011. Residents of the Atchafalaya Basin have been forced to seek higher grounds due to rising flood waters associated with the opening of the Morganza spillway. Scores of U.S. heartland rivers from the Dakotas to Ohio have flooded following a snowy winter and heavy spring rains, feeding near-record crests on the lower Mississippi River.
