I know an idiot that is building a house in River Bluff right now. Guy is a total moron.

The Haven is high but nothing looks to be in danger right now.

Yeah we're fine. The River would have to hit 37-38 feet and even then, it would just be in the streets, not in houses. At that point, there's water in downtown.

La Maison Sur La Rouge, the subdivision next door has 4-5 houses with their power off, but they're much lower than us.

I heard La Maison was under threat in the back and Bagley looked like a boat launch with signs for channel markers.
