No, 21.5 would be the max, unless of course they change the crest forecast.


It's worth noting that this depends on where you are in the relation to the river, and where your bayou empties into the river.

The Amite is at 46.2 feet in Denham Springs. The 21.5 feet projection is for Bayou Manchac. There are quite a few bayous with back flow issues in between, so the "safe" height is going to vary wildly. If you're anywhere in the drainage area and you're worried at all, get out and come back tomorrow evening.

Correct, and the specific question I answered was related to Manchac and/or its tributaries... Probably should have clarified in my answer for people who would have just opened up that page. I'll go back and edit.
