Used to live on Proxie, hope everything works out for you

Impossible for me to say with any certainty, but I'd start acting like you will get water in your home.

Somersby has water up to the sidewalk towards the end of the street. In 2001 it got to about the 8th house down but not up to any houses.

We gotta start taxing our polluters more.

I lived in the front part of Morel in 83. Water came halfway up my front yard, but never came in house.
Same for my house on Batavia in 83. Water came halfway up yard. Well graded lot. But most of Morel homes did flood that year, especially past Beekman towards back of neighborhood away from Antioch.
I gotta imagine all of Antioch Villa will flood out this year. Unbelievable how high the Amite is. Moved to Oregon in 02 but following closely. My sister lives near Old Jefferson and Highland. Don't know yet if she flooded. Friends parents had to get rescued in Central earlier today and their house didn't flood in 83. This shite is off the chart bad.

How much more water do you think? I have about a foot and a half before it gets in my house
I lived on Batavia in 83 and I would GTFO without delay.
Amite is five feet higher. That's nothing to play around with. Also a lot more development since 83 in the flood plain.

Brer, I live right there too. We are dry so far.

She should be ok close to highland. I'm near Jefferson hwy and Antioch and I'd have to guess that the closest water to me is in the back of Round Oak.

Thanks for that update. They're on Kindletree not too far from Old Jefferson. They might be okay being so far from Claycut and Manchac. Their lot doesn't have much grade though.

My friend just called, water is still rising in Old jefferson. He isn't a 100 percent sure but look like my moms got water in her house.

That neighborhood around Batavia is going to be very bad.

True. But this flood did create an online party for us peeps from that neck of the woods. I loved running wild as a kid in that neighborhood and the surrounding woods. Made us the bad mamma jammas we are today. Or something.
I'll check back in later. Gotta go for a walk or something.

I left my home at 5:30 just to be safe. I live at the corner of Antioch and Jeff Hwy...an area that's not supposed to flood according to all the maps.
But with the way the radar looks, I'm not taking a chance. Also no electricity since last night.
Any updates from the area? Shenandoah, Tiger Bend, Woodlawn Acres, Sumersby, Round Oak, Pin Oak, Old Jeff??

My parents have lived in Old Jefferson Subdv since 1976. We didn't get water in the house in the big floods of 77 and/or 83.
We have a couple of inches of water in the house this morning...

shite. Get out of there. You're one of the few areas around there with electricity. If that goes you won't be able to communicate!

I am high and dry in Galvez, packing up supplies to bring over to my parents house. They are kind of shell shocked refuse to leave the house.
ETA: they lost power at the house last night and never got it back.
