2016 Baton Rouge Flood Map and Flood Insurance Map

This is a pretty nice map of the flood and where insurance was required. What stands out are the few places where insurance was required but didn't flood while everything around it did. Some ol baws in Old Jefferson are lucky sumbitches.

Everyone is in a flood zone. The difference is simply the degree of risk.

That swamp above Bayou Manchac saved a lot of homes along Burbank..

Well that's exactly what it is a naturally occurring levee.

It's called HIGHland for a reason

Many of those residences in green areas will now be required to carry flood insurance if they accept FEMA assistance.

Cool post, wish I could also see Livingston parish.

One of us must be color blind cuz I sure as hell don't see green. You talking about that weird blueish color under flooded?

Can I get Livingston Parish map, or do we count?

The large red blob right below the word Jefferson is carriagewood estates. I live there. We were very lucky. We are required to have flood insurance. Someone in the neighborhood had a drone and the videos he posted were unreal. We were literally an island. We came about two to three feet of having water in the houses.

I remember following the thread and everyone was waiting for the Burbank area to flood. It took a while before people realized where all the water was going.

If Spanish lake hadn't been drained to fix alligator bayou how much water would have come up fountaine? I'm think it would have been feet deep near gardere and staring

Central and surrounding areas got hammered so bad. I never realized how at-risk for river flooding that area is.

Pisses me off. I pay $1400 a year for flood insurance and didn't come close to flooding.

You poor thing.
Posted on 2/3/17 at 7:18 am to LSUSilverfox
I am not required to pay it. Not in a flood zone. Opted to pay $400/year for insurance anyway and flooded. I would rather be in your spot right now.

I can't imagine the hoops people that flooded had to jump through.
