Bluff Rd. is closed at Alligator Bayou. They were trying to close it at C. Braud Rd. If anybody lives on Bluff. If you leave you might not get back.

it's closed at the S curve. They were blocking it at c braud for a while & only letting residents proceed but I guess they decided to let people go alllllllll the way up bluff before realizing they had to uturn.

Has it? News was showing it a second ago, I didn't really notice.

Is that bad news for us in dtown? Does that mean we're pulling it away?

Alligator/Manchac gauge has averaged .48"/hour since 6am this morning so seems like it might be starting to level off very slowly (averaged .62"/hr overnight).

6am reading was 11.6'
9am reading 11.72'

more confident than ever. Unless something crazy happens. 100% homes are safe. Pretty confident at least 1way of getting out will be open. 74 just west of OA is really the only place in question right now. Even bluff is far from being a problem except for where it's been overtopped for a long time up by bluff oaks

They might be. But someone said that the S curve was flooded but passable a while back. So I guess they were letting people go through it? Not sure

THey're not letting people go thru the S curve as of 10 mins ago. I walked up there and watched them turn people around.
