Anyone in BR concerned about flooding?

We got 30 inches in August. Pretty sure we'll be ok.

All of the backflow discussions about this rain event have revealed that you gonna be ok, baw.

Probably wont be on the same scale, but depending on where you live you should be a bit nervous. I know the Northshore is already saturated and the main event hasnt started yet.

It's something to watch and be aware of the river levels. I don't think it will be a major event

Amite crested at 46 at Denham Springs in August. If you remember the rain even we got in March earlier that year where it rained for two days straight it crested at 36. This probably won't be as bad as that March event.

A lot of rain was dropped today. I drove around LSU and into southeast Baton Rouge, and there is standing water everywhere.

And more rain is coming the next 2 days. I'm down in Houma right now and water is everywhere and I'm currently in the middle of another 2hrs of downpour

Just go to Tiger Stadium

This is the rainfall the August event produced. Widespread swaths of two feet of rain and more over a two day period. So much, so quick is what hammered us. Water could only drain out so fast. Amitr tributaries were rushing until the amite got higher than those and pushed it all backward and it spread out.

It takes a parked tropical system to drop that much rain that quickly. The key being theres no stopping of the rain. Gives the rivers and tributaries no time to drain previous water.

We ought to get breaks in the rain and the predicted rain totals for the next two days are about 1/5 to 1/4 the totals dropped back in August.

That one took what was practically a depression over flat arse damn Louisiana feeding in warm gulf air to produce that sort of rainfall. This system should be a messier set up with cells and blobs blowing in from the West. Some area will catch some training but won't be 36 hours over the expanse of one river basin.

Watch the Amite River at Denham gague. 46.5 feet was the creast in August. Big flooding in March had it at 38 feet or so. 40 feet is about the danger mark for Baton Rouge but it spread out as it gets that high, requiring increasingly more water to raise the high.

In short, watch the rain total and your closest local river gauge. Would be surprised if the Amite at Denham breaks 32.

Not saying it's gonna do that again, just be cautious because there will be a lot of water in south Louisiana. Thanks for the info though
