What's the magic #? Amite 2' below Manchac?

Can anyone give me some cliffs from the past 60 something pages? I have a basic understanding of what is supposed to flow where in y'all area and know the roads to a certain degree. I didn't grow up in that part of AP but am trying to educate myself on the hydrology of EBR, Livingston and Ascension. TIA.

It's starting to level off now and should start flowing back to Amite. Amite is only dropping 1-1.5" per hour right now so it'll take a few days.

When do y'all think they'll start digging? I'm dying to get that water moving out before we get any more rain. One neighbor on bluff is doing great at keeping water out and another is struggling tonight. It's been one hell of a fight and I want to see both of them win. Plus I can stop stressing over my property (still have about 7 inches).

Long shot question here, but does anyone know if the little Cajun looking house next to the HUGE, Scarface Mediterranian House at the front of Bluff Oaks flooded? My friend owns it and she's been in NOLA for work all week.

Ha! We go to said house often. Let's say we are close with its owner, and he is not of American decent. Iranian. But the house reminds me of "SAY HELLO TO MY LIL FRIEND!"

if anyone knows status of little Acadian house next door, down the hill from Scarface home, please let us know.
