Want to keep this thread focused on areas taking on water in Nola from today's monsoon. I keep seeing the videos on social media. Are businesses/restaurants/bars flooded on Canal and in the FQ? What about uptown? I've got a two buddies in uptown that have confirmed flooding in the first floor / basement areas of their homes.

I live uptown. Brother sent me a video of about 2 foot water on our street (Webster and Magazine) then sent another about an hour ago and all the water has drained off

My guess would be that most places have drained off by now.

All demm houses have 1st floor basements...always have, people were not dumb when they built them 100-150 years ago. Just us.

All those stairs leading to high porches on mag, st charles, napoleon, etc

They aren't true basements like you'd think of up north. Most of those NOLA "basements" are either mostly or entirely above grade.
