Water levels: Fountain Bayou

Anyone notice that Fountain Bayou (cuts along highland) is still very high from the flooding last month? Are bayou manchac and Amite still that high where it can't drain out?
I drove by it the other day and that sucker is still just a few feet it seemed like from the road

Some houses in Iberville and Ascension near Spanish Lake only just got water out last Friday.
The drawdown is apparently taking time, which is keeping Manchac up, and by extension tributaries (Bayou Fountain).

That's crazy man. Almost a month later and we are still drying out.

Yep. It's still sloppy back there

Bayou Manchac is still out of it's banks but it's dropping slowly.

Ok dusty. Since we all have experience with this before I guess I should know how long it takes.

If Spanish lake could be dredged to 10 foot depths I could actually as a huge retention pond. And be drawn down before major storms

Bayou Manchac used to flow into the Missippi River. Humans blocked it off to prevent the river from flooding it, and tried to reverse the flow. Since if filled up from the flood, it's a big hole with water in it now, with nowhere to go.
