That's helpful. At its peak we had no issues in our yard, but some of the streets along Dawson Creek flooded and I'm sure they'd love to know if it's coming back up.

If you look at the 100 year flood map the swamp floods at 15 feet. So does bayou manchac at I-10. As well as isolated areas of burbank and highland.
Other than that the further west you head on highland the required heights of water start going up and up. Burbank and lee floods at like 20 feet.
There is no way water is getting to that area if the water at I-10 and manchac is relatively stable.
Do you agree supernovasky?
I actually think you are reading the map wrong. The squiggly line - numbers are the base flood elevation for a 100 year flood. It doesn't mean that the water level will be at that footage to cause flooding - it means that points below whatever number listed will flood whereas points above will not. It lets you determine if your property, which may have relatively higher ground than surrounding property, is prone to flooding and lets you know how high you have to build.

The Great Flood of 2016: Backflow Flooding Occuring (8/14/16)
So you still feel the Jefferson Terrace/Inniswold area has some flooding ahead based on that?
Is my memory failing me or wasn't that area reported to be flooding well earlier today?

I hear ya, my coworker lives in the back of the neighborhood so I know how bad it got there.

Ward Creek now rising again per friends in Santa Maria subdivision after dropping a bit. Rising fast they said per text.

Picked up my folks at 4-way near Galvez middle this afternoon. At least a 1 1/2 feet of water at 4-way. Water was in the school gym.

Download the app photobucket.
Does anyone know if new river canal is expected to get any of this backflow?

I was there around 6 today. The water hasn't reached the manchac plantation entrance yet. There is a pretty good incline in the roadway there.
I was there at 9:00 and it was still that way. There is easily 100 feet to the entrance of Manchac Plantation all uphill...probably 6 feet of elevation.
I can only think Griswold was making things up.

Isn't Manchac Point going to 21.5?
Posted on 8/14/16 at 10:16 pm to junkfunky
Just got back from Bayou Manchac at Old Perkins. Water is very high obviously, but stagnant, not moving in either direction. Water hasn't reached Manchac Plantation yet, still has a ways to go before it gets there.

We're neighbors, I was out walking earlier to see if anyone needed any help. Most had already ripped out all flooring and sheetrock, with the help of other friendly neighbors.

Exactly so it is all relative. So the area around burbank and staring is at "18" which means it is 3 feet higher than I-10 and manchac. How will it possibly get 3 more feet of water if I-10 and manchac doesnt budge?

Meh. Kinda street flooding on three or four streets. Nothing of note really compared to all these other areas.

I would follow the AP Homeland Security - they are stating facts and have Sheriff Jeff Wiley giving updates - make no mistake - he is in charge of this parish.

Got pictures?
This location right here? How fast?
I am about to draw up a map if that is true. I'm concerned about that spot because that would be the very first point to experience backwater flooding.

that's what they've been saying all day

Yeah 21.5 is the projected crest. It is just below that now. With that crest manchac should go up to around that same water level
