Crests Still to Come:
•Amite River at Bayou Manchac Point, Louisiana: Cresting at just over 15 feet early this week (major flood), highest since Tropical Storm Allison in 2001. Homes possibly impacted, roads impassable.
•Amite River at Port Vincent, Louisiana: Cresting between 11-12 feet early this week (moderate flood). Streets and residential areas will flood.
•Big Cypress Creek (Caddo Lake) at Mooringsport, Louisiana: A top five crest is expected early this week, highest since May 1966. At level of 178 feet, several hundred homes, including some on stilts, would flood.
•Big Sunflower River at Sunflower, Mississippi: Will remain just below record crest from 1973 into early week. Low-lying streets flooded.
•Boeuf River near Ft. Necessity, Louisiana: A top 4 crest is expected late week, flooding thousands of acres of land.
•Leaf River near McClain, Mississippi: Fourth highest level on record has been reached and some slow additional rising is possible. Flooding of homes, county roads.
•Pearl River near Pearl River, Louisiana: Near record crest possible Monday or Tuesday. Subdivisions flooded near the river. Parts of I-10 east of Slidell will flood.
•Red River at Shreveport, Louisiana: Cresting near 31.5 feet (moderate flood) early this week. A couple of city parks flood, and Russell Road may flood between I-220 and Blanchard Highway in north Shreveport.
•Sabine River at Deweyville, Texas: A record crest over 3 feet above the unofficial May 1884 level expected by the middle of the week, due to previous record releases from Toledo Bend Reservoir well upstream. At these levels, the town of Deweyville will be isolated, with numerous homes flooded and widespread, catastrophic flooding. NWS-Lake Charles says all Calcasieu Parish residents west of highway 109 should be prepared to evacuate, if requested.
•Sabine River at Orange, Texas: Forecast to rise above major flood stage by Tuesday due to record releases from Toledo Bend Reservoir well upstream. At the 6-foot river stage, numerous roads and homes are subject to flooding. Only twice before has the river reached the 6-foot stage at Orange: 1) Hurricane Ike 2008 (9.86 feet) and 2) April 25, 1913 (6.27 feet). It is currently expected to rise above the 1913 crest, but remain below the Ike crest.
•Trinity River at Liberty, Texas: Forecast to rise above 29-foot stage by midweek. At that stage, several subdivisions above Liberty begin flooding.

Yes, I saw that this morning. Unreal

That's a snake bite victim waiting to happen. Go home people. Damn

That graphic only represents Thursday and Friday. It emphasizes the south Louisiana rainfall but does not count the record rainfall on Wednesday for north Louisiana?

Should not have anything to worry about there.

Had a coworker say they expected it to be. He lives in Picayune so is monitoring the situation.

I guess nobody has any idea of time frame when or for how long it will be closed?

Just that they expect it to close. He is debating leaving work now.

Attempted to take some pictures of the golf course at Santa Maria, water was so deep couldn't really get many places.


Looking across the fairway on #3


Standing on cart path coming off green on #11 looking towards 12 fairway


#7 green, flag still up


#7 fairway

Didn't take a picture of it but the #3 tee box area is completely washed Out, as well as the bridge coming from the club house to the driving range / first tee

Jeez, I wonder how long it will take to right the ship with that much standing water and for that long on the course.
