Any one know if you can get into DS from Baton Rouge on Florida Blvd yet? Specifically River Run neighborhood?

Water is receding but I am cautious to say they'll allow you to get back in.

I-12 should open tomorrow assuming there is no structural damage to the bridge. The Amite should be well below the bridge by tomorrow afternoon. Florida Blvd should be even sooner than that. I crossed the Amite when it was at 41' and it was at the bottom of the bridge and the exits of Range were beginning to take on water. If it can just drop to around 31-35', I don't see why they wouldn't open shite back up.

You can make it easily. I parked at the bottom of the bridge on the Denham Side at 2:00 today and the water was shin deep on FLA Blvd by River Run. Dont know what the back of the subdivision looked like though

No, I crossed over the I-12 bridge to enter the city as the water was rising. It was at 41' when I crossed, which is why I used that as the benchmark for when they can likely reopen the road assuming it is safe.

Florida over Amite. Great news since it will only continue to go down.

I stole that from a reporter's tweet. No idea if it's open to public.
