That’s in the Central area. The mayor was apparently worried about that river during the local news.

Also any one in areas where the comite spills into (canals etc) will be effected. I know ppl in the Zachary area that took on water bc of the comite in 2016

Yeh. It’s really sad that some of the same people who just moved back into their homes may very well be going through the awful experience of being flooded out again over the weekend :(

Let's just hope it doesn't happen. Not saying they shouldn't prepare for it but I'm familiar with Joor and it's not a flood hotspot other than near that ghetto by Prescott. That's always flooded.

Me too.
Along plank and the Northeast high area.
You know: the drainage area.
Friends in Fennwood flooded from backflow from the drainage canal, but that's been regularly taken care of since then.

It flooded once.
How would you not expect it to happen again?
And btw: most of this flooding is due to new developments in areas people didn't develop because it was a drainage basin.
But these cities rubber-stamped these new developments for "growth", and the developer raised the earth for it, causing the drainage to backflow into the original neighborhoods that never had an issue before.
Because they built on the high ground that had natural drainage.

I wasn’t commenting on what caused the problem. I was just saying it’s sad that some of the same people will being going though this again. Property in Baton Rouge and private schools in Baton Rouge is not affordable for a lot of people who work here, so I’m guessing that’s why they created all those suburbs. I doubt most who bought the homes in those new developments knew about the dig out etc. And there were some older neighborhoods that flooded. Like the coursey area on the other side of airline. That’s an older area and a lot of those homes flooded. They called it a 500 year flood. A lot of the homes that flooded in 2016 had been here a long time so they didn’t expect it then and they certainly didn’t expect it again 3 years later.

Here’s a link to his blog
He’s not an MD
He works or worked for the National Hurricane
center
He was a hurricane hunter with the NOAA for a few years
He’s somewhat of a global warmer alarmist, but other than that, he’s smart.

I explained why these older neighborhoods flooded in my other post.
It's why my dad's house flooded in 2016 after 36 years of being there.

We'll see what happens this weekend. Fingers crossed; I have people out there. I'm not far away from it, but am in an older area that didn't flood in 2016. Where I'm at, we just got the flash from the rain, and neglected drainage systems that allow the roads and yards to go under.
It sucks, as I remember the 83 floods, and remembered the promised Comite River diversion that people paid tax dollars for and never got. And that was brought up after 2016, and still nothing done. If it happens again, EBR politicians need to be strung up.

Local and state didn't hold it up.
Reps and senators from other states refused to fund after the initial plan was approved. It wasn't their problem.
After 2016, ours managed to guilt-trip funding approval. But only a portion.
Gotta credit Graves for pulling that off.
My source: a head engineer of the project from the start. He's from Germany. Private contractor too. So don't accuse state of sitting on their arse. Accuse the private firms.
Or just put the blame where it belongs: on politicians from Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon, etc.

The city needs to be smarter than this. It does seems like everywhere I turn there’s a new apt complex in Baton Rouge, but i don’t think the student population has grown that much since i was there 16 years ago. I don’t know how we fix people not being able to afford private school here though. Most everyone I know who lives in the towns outside of BR do so b/c the school system and/or they can’t afford a house in BR or the houses they can afford need tons of work.

What's that got to do with flooding?
Posted on 7/13/19 at 4:11 am to magildachunks
The new developments are being built for all the people who can’t afford to live in the city and it’s the developments that are messing with the balance of drainage.

My neighborhood is pretty much 1/4 mile from that bridge. Didn’t flood last time though. Most of my neighbors did though

Left side of Joor or right?
Wondering because I redid a pool on the last street on the right before the bridge after it flooded in 16.
That job is why I'm like: Man, frick a constructer.
The crew who redid the house used the pool as their dumpster.
I was pulling nails, tile, and even fried chicken bones out of that pool.
