re: This is more rain than I got in 2016 and 2021

It’s been raining its fricking arse off in Bossier this month.

Canals are at capacity. People are about to be in some major trouble.

Posted in the other thread but Jones Creek in our neighborhood is very high. Hard to take a great pic from the truck

Are we in an El Niño weather pattern or has all this rain just been a “shite happens” South Louisiana thing? I’ve had plenty of wet winters here but there was always a driving factor behind them.

1 lane is closed on I-10 eastbound about a or so mile before the highland exit, the entire lane is under in some spots.

Bluebonnet southbound at Highland was also under and had two cars stalled out. It was about 2:15 when I passed and it had to have just happened because Bluebonnet wasn’t backed up yet. I guess the bayous and creeks can’t take anymore and the water is taking over the roadway. I don’t recall that part of Bluebonnet flooding before.

The morning commute tomorrow might be a shite show

Thanks to all that development on Burbank

I also saw the area near Harveston but wasn’t sure if it was an accident or water in the road. I was turning into Bluebonnet from Nicholson and saw the lights so immediately turned around and went Gardere. I figured things would have been fine since the rain had slacked off for a couple of hours. I guess all the extra rain from north of us is coming down this way and everything is already full.

Was the water near Harveston from the newly built canals where they are about to begin major work or from the Harveston side? Imagine when all of that area is concrete.

Quite a punch South Baton Rouge received this morning.
