Eastgate at S. Harrell's ferry
Forest Park
Lake forest park
Bridge on s. Harrell's ferry by woodland ridge
Woodland ridge is under. Boats going in. Camelot and eastgate have water up to the yards.
I still have power and wifi.
Folks, I'm gonna ride this out but if you have family in the area...it ain't looking too hot the more towards the Amite you get.

The Great Flood of 2016: Backwater Flooding Occuring (8/14/16)

Depends on the extent of backwater flooding.
If it's as bad as what happened on Jones Creek, it could be very bad for them.

we are in Gonzales near 621/airline and we didn't even have water covering the street. but, the video of gonzales up by brewbachers looks pretty bad.

Where do you find the gauges online?

Any guess on how much higher it will go? In my uneducated guess, another 1 to 1.5 feet puts water in the houses on this side of the street.

If they're on Highland, it's really high (intended) ground there. The neighborhood walmart sits at like 48 feet elevation

Okay, I am looking at these maps and I'm a little worried about my sister and her family. They are zone X but are, to me, uncomfortably close to the blue. She lives in an apartment complex just north of Jefferson Highway between Stumburg Lane and Morning Dove Drive...I can't remember the name of the complex. Everything south of her is blue. I might do it anyway, but should I advise her that she should prepare a bug-out bag and be ready to move?
quote:
Man, it's close. Clay Cut Bayou @ Antioch is at 26.76' right now, and it looks like the area of that apt complex is at 29-30. The 100-year elevation there is 29, and based on the gauge at Denham cresting right around the 100-year, my guess is it will be damn close to that 29'. If the complex pad/foundation is raised at all, should be ok. But it's close.
Thanks to the information from this board, I was able to convince my sister to pack bags just in case. This morning, they decided to bug out and came my way. So thanks for the good links and advice everyone. I got more information of what is going on from this board and the police scanner in five minutes than what I can get from the media in an hour. All they want to show are dramatic rescues, but people need INFORMATION. No coverage nationally. There is a crisis going on and no one outside of Louisiana (unless you have LA. connections, of course) seems to care.

The Jones Creek gauge at Old Hammond has leveled off at 34.32 for several hours so I'm guessing the crest of the Amite is where JC flows into the Amite.
I don't trust that gauge. It doesn't just go flat like that.

That place has flooded before
Opened as Lou Macs and flooded in 77
