No wake zones

Official signs. Put up after the flood bc several houses lost their entire back yards since the river completely shifted course.

Even without a sign... There are several houses literally HANGING over the river now. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that throwing a wake will erode that more.

Edit: you can somewhat see one of the signs across the river, and some of the houses.

sheriff or ldwf and get them to sit out there for a day or two

Assholes are useless. They said they were gonna have a boat constantly here right after they opened back up and it was really bad. Nope. Have sent video, pics, etc and get told basically "oh well

What is going to happen to those homes? Are they going to be repaired?

We don't know yet. We're stuck in limbo. Do we pay 100+ thousand to have a new bulkhead put in, just to be washed out a year later? The talk right now is a buyout of the neighborhood at pre-flood prices and turning it back to greenspace. Thing is, the buyout won't cover anything done post flood. So if we do anything, we won't get paid back. But each day we wait for an official word, the closer we are to falling in.

It's a super shite position that's for sure.

NFIP might be buying them back?

I can't remember what abc group it was, but if that's the abc group who does buyouts after natural disasters and such, then yes. That's the word on the street and from the higher ups dealing with it.


Edit: this is the most recent update I've gotten.
Here is the update on the buyout. Paul Sawyer has advised us the funds have been allocated and they are meeting with the parish to form a plan for proceeding. We should be hearing from them any day. Also, the LSU professors have visited and are busy gathering the data needed to give them a better picture of what's going on. Don't be surprised if you see them around the neighborhood. They were here a couple days ago filming video. Garret Graves is continuing in his attempts to develop additional help if the buyout does not go through. That's all I got... obviously none of this is going fast.

There were two airboats full of official looking people heading upriver on the Diversion today

Say that to the land my neighbors and I have lost due to bass boats flying through here "barely making a wake". And you're right, bay boats, ski boats, pontoons, they're all guilty. But right now, it's the bass boats flying up and down river being pieces shite.

Do bass boats fly by other bass boats that are fishing a Reed line? Nope.

Highend camp owners always yell at us, then they come flying down with bigger boats past us. I do what makes me feel good, no wake with boats tied to docks, lifted I'm gone.

And if you would do that past the houses I posted above,

That's where the "high end" comes in.
"Do unto others as they surely as phuck do unto you".

Think you misread, understood my post. Either way, you can shove that child crap up your azz.
Just sayin'.

I'm in Cocodrie, never fished fresh so my response was in general, understand?
The Coco Village fly south with no shits given, so in turn I do the same heading north in a much smaller boat when they are lifted.
My issue isn't with the area, it's with the people in all areas doing the right thing.
PS- a 2 bedroom, 2 bath sounds great to me on the water.
