From my perspective, March was worse. I didn't get water or even close either time.

I do think from the pictures and everything shown that this will be worse overall and can get even worse as the water drains south. Everything above 190 was flooding and all that water has to go somewhere. I guess we will see tonight and in the morning.

Just about every record that the March flood set was broken today.

The in laws are just south of the airport as well along selsers creek. There house is raised, but theyve been under water since this started. No water in the house, but they definitely aren't running to cash and dash anytime soon.

Over west near the LP line, today was definitely worse. My street didn't even flood in March. I left today and got a pic from my neighbor and water was about a foot from my door. I got lucky.

My brother lives in the subdivision before mine. He didn't get so lucky. Got water in every room of his house.

One of my buddies still at selu works at the blackened brew. He was working earlier tonight. From what I hear, Southeastern and the areas around school aren't as bad as march

In Springfield which is near the Tangipahoa/Livingston line. At least for this area it's way worse than march. My house is 20 years old and has never come close to flooding... currently up to 6 inches. The town itself is completely under water.

There are a lot of places that didn't flood in '83, or in March, that got water this time as well as those that flooded in March.

So, in that sense this is much much worse. This will be a more costly flood.

Buddy from Ponchy is under. He said his family from the north end all lost their homes. River levels were much higher now compared to March.
