Closer to stockwell the less amount of time they will have


I think they are worried about the levee breaking if bodcau gives.

Man, that's crazy. I lived on Pinehaven in Dogwood from ages 3-5. I started school at Stockwell. Granted it was almost 30 years ago but it still hits close to home. Prayers for everyone up there.

It really is, we were forecasted for a bunch. But it just keeps sliding to the west

I bet we haven't got an inch or so at my house,



It is coming though. Unfortunately most of it is staying on the LA/TX border for the first few days.

What's the latest in Dogwood? Are the stables by the gas station flooded? It's right off that creek.

I'm driving from Ruston to Baton Rouge tomorrow morning. What would be the best time to make the 4 hour drive as safe as possible?? Any help would be appreciated.

A large low pressure system (a "cut-off" low) has separated from the jet stream, and will stay parked over the U.S./Mexico border region during the next few days. The counter-clockwise flow of air around this low is bringing up plenty of warm, moisture-laden air from the tropics along the east side of the low, causing the heavy rains we've observed. By this weekend, when all of this rain has had time to flow into area rivers, expect to see several rivers crest at near-record flood levels. Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are near average over the Gulf of Mexico, which will keep the amount of moisture available to this week's storms lower than would be the case if SSTs were unusually warm. However, the cut-off low has tapped into a moisture source in the deep tropics over the Eastern Pacific where SSTs are record warm. An "atmospheric river" of water vapor can be seen on satellite images extending from the record-warm El Niño-heated waters south of Mexico directly into the Southern U.S.

I don't know. There is a decent elevation change from dogwood south lane to the bayou, and a decent chunk of land between the bayou and dogwood south lane in the area north of applewood intersection, so I'd imagine there would be decent lead time, dependent on size/location of the breach.

It should be an absolute mandatory trip if you're going to make it at all. Check the weather in the early morning hours and see what the radar looks like. Best of luck.

If you have to drive it, consider bringing a boat with you.
