re: 2015 Shreveport/Bossier Flood Thread

I think their thought process is there isn't zany back doors on that one home, so the brick wall itself would hold up to a foot or so if need be.

May be, it sucks for the owners regardless.

They definately dont need pity

Some of the names that guy listed are filthy rich doctors to whom a little first floor water damage is mere pocket change.

Mimi gives zero fricks in that video, she has that generator running the entire house (probably got a 120kw out there) and they are partying.

Well, I will know I've "made it" if I'm ever featured on KTBS laughing and singing about my home being flooded. "put that cheddar in the floor, Mimi, maybe we'll at least catch some channel cat."

Not sure if anyone has posted this. It's a breakdown of flooding effects at different feet.

Just saw a close friend's pic on FB of one of the homes pictured in this thread, but from the interior. They have about 6" inside at the moment. Gorgeous place. They cleared out furniture totally, thankfully.

Water as red as red. Awful.

I'm predicting 38.5 crest. Texoma is still 118.6% full and 3' over the spillway. The open gates are pumpimg out 91,000 cubic feet per second

Nah 38.5 seems unlikely even with texoma still over the gates right now. The real problem could be if we get another week like we had two weeks ago as that would probably put wright patman over as well as more from Hugo and texoma. Supposedly river will stay at flood stage or just below through august as hard as that is to believe.

Post the pic
