Clyde is that Bistineau or Caddo?

Those are all around NWLA.
This is from West Monroe...

About the only positive from this rain will be the flushing of the salvinia off the lakes.

Bad news forecasted by the latest GFS

Man, that's some sobering images. I hope that I never have to deal with something like that.

How the frick does the NWS miss this forecast by 200 miles? All this rain we were supposed to get in LC ended up in Shreveport. I could understand if it were an hour away or whatnot, but 200 miles?
This is one of NWS's all time busts events here. Thays an understatement.
This has been a very hard system to forecast. The models have really struggled with it and there aren't many analogs for such a highly unusual setup.
Deep tropical moisture is streaming north out of the Gulf resulting in record PWAT across Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. So one of the main ingredients is in place for extreme rainfall but the triggers have been very hard to get a handle on. Numerous waves of energy have been rotating around the base of the system and kicking out across Texas. Each of these waves of energy sets off rounds of thunderstorms. Forecasting convective evolution is still extremely hard and that is making it hard to nail down who gets the most rain and when.
Trends this morning certainly point to SE Texas and SW Louisiana getting in on the action today.

You sure about the LC forecast? All the models I saw had the bullseye North of LC, south of S'port. Right over Toledo Bend.

Damnit. As long as this ditch behind my house holds Im in good shape.

I don't have pictures but I pulled a stalled car out this morning and also had to go through multiple spots on the way to work where water was 1'-2' deep. This is in Shreveport/Bossier.

Where you located PP?

My street is flooded. No way my wife could leave to go anywhere in her little SUV.
Also the Ockley ditch is about to flood the Fairfield apartments. It looks like a whitewater river is flowing through Betty Virginia.

Ockley ditch
It was boiling up through the man hole covers when I crossed it on highland this morning heading downtown.
I live about 5 houses off Bayou Pierre in a flood zone, but we're still good. Paid flood insurance for the year about a month ago and I was bitching about it.
Not so much today...

Someone just tell me what I need to know about NOLA.

We're treading water

got some pictures from out by 175 south of Wallace Lake and looks like Pierre is way out of the banks down there. It might help keep it contained up closer to town since its spreading out that way.
