Can the NO pumps keep up with rain like this? I know the majority of the rain is well west and north of there but I'm just curious.

Flash floods in Nola are terrible. I highly doubt the pumps can keep up with 12" in 24 hours but what do I know. Just personal experience seeing flash flooding in Nola. It doesn't take much to flood the streets

Where did you get this info from?

Pumps can do 1" the first hour and 1/2" each additional hour. So you answer is no.

Got it. I was translating what Shreveport bossier saw (20" in 24 hours). Thanks for clarifying

What!!! Are you 100% positive?

I sure hope we don't get that much. I don't think my nerves can take it

Is Baton Rouge even going to get anything abnormal?
It doesnt look any different than what we typically get IMO

There are plenty of jobs where you can change your predictions like that. The biggest difference is that the data for 99.9999% of jobs doesn't change like it does for weather.
To be honest, I don't see why people seem to be bothered by it. People seem to have the attitude of "damn, we didn't get flooded out of our homes by 20" of water, I'm pissed" and I just don't get it.

Got really close at my house but the water never quite made it in thank God.

12" over 3 days isn't so bad. It's 12" in one day that bothers me.
This the 24-hour prediction for Friday only. 7" in a day won't be easy for NOLA.

Yeah, staying at a friends place until it's safe to drive home

I've given up on getting back to Ruston today. Staying with family down south until tomorrow
