From O'Neal to millerville is wiped out. Centurion place, the woodlands and avalon completely flooded with all least 3 feet. My mom lives in the woodlands across from centurion and every single house was flooded. She is moving back and it appears the majority are rebuilding.

I am curious to see what happens to bellingrath in central. Old neighborhood, older residents. The whole neighborhood flooded as well

The small subdivision off of Rushing Rd. in Denham is going to struggle to come back in good form. Most of the houses were smaller than 1200sf and a lot of older people lived there. They took on about 7 feet of water and I worry about how it's going to recover.



I helped a friend's parents in that place... Going to be tough for sure.

I am concerned about starting anything before I know more about the permitting and raising elevation.


One of my sisters got a couple of feet of water in Denham and trying to deal with the permit office was not even a possibility. We could not wait around for them so we went on without them. The house is done now so I don't know what they can do to her, if anything at all.

Hell just go down the Central Thruway to Greenwell Springs. Take a right on Greenwell Springs. Just about everything flooded in that area on both sides of the Thruway and Greenwell Springs.

Yes, one of my best friends grew up there in the 70's & 80's...very nice homes back them with plenty of them close to 3K square feet if not more. And it's Centurion Place.

My parents & sister live in the Shadows of White Oak. Parents house did not flood...sister's house flooded and they are now living with my parents til they can get all the work done to be able to move back in.
