re: # of homes flooded: Katrina vs '16 Flood?

"Or damaged" That is very vague wording

It was a hurricane.

Flooding isn't their only mode of wrecking shite.

There's just a lot more homes in Orleans. That tips the scales quite a bit.

Maybe measure percent of homes in Livingston, EBR, Ascension vs. Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard or coastal Mississippi.

The people in Baton Rouge weren't living in a bowl.

So bowling is not prevalent to causation

Yes it ain't a fair fight of flood storm compared to a wind storm, this is about flood numbers

True, but the OP specifically asked for "flooded homes"

Good point.

At any rate, Katrina is NOLA's worst natural disaster and this is the worst for metro Baton Rouge. Without a doubt and not even close.

Youngsville is in frickin never never land

We are talkin about the 4 parish area with 150,000 homes in the greatest density in the state

80 % .............GONE

No way no how

Katrina was a much smaller area

Katrina flooded 100+ homes in Florida before it entered the Gulf.

A 10 year old girl died in flooding caused by Katrina in Kentucky.

Severe local flooding occurred in Quebec, forcing the evacuations of dozens of homes in some communities as rivers began overflowing their banks and sewage systems were becoming overwhelmed by the influx of precipitation. Inundated and washed out roads, including Route 138 along the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River, Route 172 north of Tadoussac, and Route 385 near Forestville left several communities isolated for at least a week

Think about all the Mississippi homes that were flooded too.

Flooded. Most of them were gone. There was no need to remove wet drywall or carpet. All that was left was a slab.

"Housing units" I wonder if this means an individual apartment.

Katrina flooded from Lafayette to Mobile
