2015 Shreveport/Bossier Flood Thread

don't be surprised when your house floods.
River Bluff in Bossier
This is an overhead video of people (apparently someone knows the Sheriff) sandbagging their houses in River Bluff. It's a neighborhood in North Bossier that is completely on the river side of a levee. The cheapest house in the place is around $300K and the nicer ones have to be near $1M. The Red River is supposed to crest tomorrow at 1-1.5 over flood stage.
Dumbasses, hope they have good flood insurance.
ETA- The $300K houses are the ones in the back of the neighborhood. They are ok, for now. The houses that are about to flood are the $1M+ houses. Let that sink in.
(Might as well change the name to cover the entire flood)

Must be nice to have DOC bring some prisoners by to put the sandbags down on your private property.

It's definitly a dumb place to build a home. I wonder if they used a drone to film that video.

Bring on the inmate labor! Those guys were probably happy to be out in the fresh air, getting some exercise and working on their tans.

Sweep co just turned off the power to that neighborhood.

Why the frick would you build on the RIVER side of the levee?
And someone is calling in some favors from the Sheriff's office to get inmate labor on private residences...

If you choose to build there it seems like they could have taken some basic precautions like raise the house on piers.

Sounds like the Bluff part was a bit of a stretch.

That's part of living by any water source. In America we put a high value on being right on top of a water source, fully knowing it could flood/damage your house. That's not going to keep people from buying as long as they can find insurance.
Eta: as stated though, building the house on piers would be the intelligent thing to do.

May get bailed out by uncle sam.
Vidalia built a dr office, hospital, welcome center and hotel on the river side of levee. They recieved in excess of 500k to offset costs of sandbagging during 2011 flood. These buildings were built recently too, like in the last 15 years so its not like they didn't know that the river floods.
Stupid stupid stupid

What are your views of the people who build INSIDE the Moganza floodway?

there's a dentist in Colfax who built a gorgeous house on the river side of the levee closer to Boyce. His house is about 8'-10' up on piers though. Also on a high piece on land next to the levee, but I bet he gets water in his outdoor kitchen this week.

At least it's great advertising for the remaining lots to be sold.

Probably hard to get a company to insure them, huh?
