Anyone been over the Red River today? I'm sure it wont be open for months now.

Keithville is getting pretty bad, any other flooding to be aware of?

The river was high to begin with, they said on the radio there are concerns for sections of Clyde Fant and Arthur Teague flooding out. I've seen it kiss it down by Hamel's Park, but never seen it go over the road.

This shite is ridiculous.

I havent been on Clyde Fant near the river, but on Arthur Teague it is over the side across from the poopoo plant with water as far as it can come near the road.

There were 5 Canada geese eating next to the road in that spot yesterday.

The on-ramp at W70th and 3132 was shut down this morning because the bottom half of it is flooded.

I believe 1992 or 1993 was the year a lot of things flooded around Shreveport- parts of Broadmoor, off of Pierremont, and some other places that I can remember. Some of the creeks around Greenwood still have high water marks from that flood where apartments/buildings got flooded out.

I was at the parking lot next to the Stoner boat launch yesterday watching these idiots go down right on the edge of the bank taking pictures. Guess they don't realize how dangerous that is. With the current that swift, if the ground was to give away, they will not get out of the river alive. I work for the security company that opens and closes Hamels and C. Bickam Dickson park. People were really pissed a couple of weeks ago when Spar wouldn't let up open the park so they could fish. This is definately the highest that I have seen in several years. Flood stage is 30 ft and they are saying that it will not get that high. Suppose to crest today right above 29ft

I would like to apologize to everyone in the Gulf South. I decided to start building a house this spring and it has apparently affected the global weather pattern.

Red River could reach major flood stage...
quote:

SHREVEPORT, La. The rain keeps falling and the Red River keeps rising. Next week, it could reach levels similar to what we saw in 1990. Around June 5th, the Red River is expected to reach major flood stage at 33 feet.


quote:

Shreveport's flood stage is 30 feet. So at 33 feet, roads, streets, parking lots will flood.


quote:

According to the National Weather Service, the highest the Red River has crested was in 1849 at 45 feet.

just drove up I-49 from Alexandria to Shreveport. Every low area was flooded from backwater, from Jean de Jean up to whatever the bayou is that serves as the boundary btw Caddo and DeSoto. The Spanish Lake lowlands were completely flooded, even had a milo crop headed out half under water. Pretty amazing.
