That's what they have been telling the locals for a few days now. Hopefully they are wrong, but the story has been pretty consistent. The guard is working hard on the road up north, so we can hope that leads to an earlier end.

Is this the Spanish Lakes Ave area? Any updates on this neighborhood?

Spanish lskes has a foot or so in the road. Just up to the end of the driveways.

Just got off the ridge.
Lots of traffic on that road right now. If you're planning to go sightseeing, please don't right now. If you're going help someone, by all means go, but we need to keep the traffic as minimal as possible as parts of the road become covered. I had to wait a very long time to cross the last stretch of water infront of my aunts house as about 20 trucks turned onto the road. I saw one that I know for a fact was going "just check it out"

Thanks. Is it rising or falling?

Is Alligator Bayou Road the road that parallels Bayou Manchac in Ascension Parish from Bluff Road West?
ETA, no it connects to that road on the East end. The road I was thinking of is Manchac Road.

frick. Cmon road. We really need you to hold up.

That is a pretty significant drop in water which leads me to believe that at least part of the road way gave way. Just my speculation but since Kleinpeter is still rising it makes sense.

About in the same boat. Guess I have 9-10 inches left here on bluff. No way it continues through Friday. I'm praying Manchac starts to drop a lit quicker this evening and we get some reprieve. You think overflow on 74 is helping us any?

Not really because that all feeds back to this side. Whatever goes that way has to come back.

This looks promising. At least it's not flowing as fast.

I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see how it stops until it gets to at least 13.5'. With everything else being 15'+, it all has to equalize.

It's been pretty level since last night. I wouldn't worry to much.
Posted on 8/17/16 at 3:24 pm to LSUaFOOL
Thoughts on photo above? That's less flow than earlier this week. It's definitely going down.
Posted on 8/17/16 at 3:24 pm to BamaFanInTigerland
Anyone know what the normal drainage path from Alligator Bayou/Spanish Lake is?
Posted on 8/17/16 at 3:25 pm to BRIllini07
The Lake drains into the bayou.

I just got back from Shadow Ridge. Tensions are high. I had a "conversation" with some people in a side-by-side that I assumed were site seeing.
It's in my in laws by about 2-3 feet and I don't have much room left.
If anybody sees a pallet of grey plastic flooring with red straps, it floated away Monday. That's mine.
Good luck to everybody fighting back there.

The only way out of Spanish lake is via the locks on alligator bayou rd. That means the water in manchac has to be lower that Spanish lake/the swap in order for it to flow that direction.
It will be a painfully slow retreat.

Yep. It's hard to tell exactly when it started coming over. I went Saturday afternoon and it wasn't coming over. Sunday morning it was. Looking at the charts for Manchac, it was at 14.28 at midnight Saturday. Th chart for BS gauge doesn't show a spike at midnight, but a little after that. Really wish we had an exact reading in the height of the road.
