My bad. I call it tchefuncte, but it's really falaya. North of I-12 it's expected to hit 19 for the gauge we look at.

I saw somewhere that US 61 was closed in a couple of different parts


According to the MSDOT and LADOT websites, US 61 is not closed. Trust me, i've been watching these damn websites all day trying to get 6 trucks back into Louisiana. I suggested US65 because I had two come down there earlier with no issues. Had one come down 425 and he said there were some spots with water.

I had a truck come down 425 earlier. Said there were spots with water over the road. Not bad enough to close, but I guess it could get worse. From all accounts 65 and 61 are relatively smooth sailing.

MSDOT website has US 61 all the way into BR as good to go. I guess it could change by the time you get there, but as of now it looks like you're good to go.

Which one of the only 3 decent sized bars in Ruston changed its name to Sundown West? Rabbs, QStick, or what was a Mexican join next to Rabb's?

I'll guess the Mexican joint

Anybody been paying attention to the Red River/Atchafalaya's Miss. river flooding at Red River Landing near ORCS? RRL has gone up almost 3 feet in the last 2 days. 2 week forecast has it cresting at 49', but it's at 50.6' now.

Anyone have any good info?

driving Houston to Natchez tomorrow.

i-10 Lake Charles, 165 to Alexandria, then 28/85/425 to Natchez. Looks like all those routes are unaffected so far by floodwaters.

My question - do you expect waters to be receding in that part of the state between now and tomorrow afternoon or rising? I've never taken this route so I have no idea of he rivers, etc.
