The pic is out there. That's not the point.

Ongoing research efforts have shown that ocean wave height responds rapidly to changes in a storm's wind speed. But scientists believe the overall wave field is also driven by the size or radius of a storm's strongest winds, and its forward speed. In Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 the largest waves, up to 40 feet, were found near the strongest winds. In September 2004, scientists with the Naval Research Laboratory-Stennis Space Center, Bay St. Louis, Miss., measured a record-size ocean wave - a whopping 91 feet - when the eye wall of Hurricane Ivan passed over sensors in open water over the Gulf of Mexico. "Ocean depth is another critical factor in wave height," said Edward Walsh, NASA Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, Va. "Our observations from Hurricane Bonnie indicated that as soon as the waves encountered the continental shelf - the underwater extension of the coastal plain - their length began to shorten and they became steeper. As the water became shallow, wave height plummeted."

AP
AP is not going anywhere soon because:
1 St George isn't happening.
2 The main Louisiana commercial corridor is from BR to NO, not BR to Hammond or Slidell: AP 1 LP 0
3 For the past 40 or so years the BR growth trend has been towards the south and southeast and will continue to spill over into AP because:
4 AP has ranked in the top three to five school districts in the state despite the fact of factoring in the underperforming west bank of the parish. A reasonable argument could be made that it is in fact the top school district in the state.
That parish is not finished growing by a long shot, crappy infrastructure be damned

The point is not about 'this team' or 'that team.'
It's about the future, costs, where outlet kids and grandkids will live, and what we want them to face.
Louisiana is sinking about 1/2" per year. Sea levels are rising. These storms happen.
So you want your grandkids to face all this? I don't.

Look, I'm so sorry I didn't stick around to take pics or measure the wave for Chad's retarded arse.
If 2 ft of rain floods EBR, Tangi, and Livingston during August, the OP makes a fair point.
Is it worth it. The thread isn't about the size of a wave.

All flood insurance is paid by the Federal Government and too much is being paid out for low premiums.
From 2005 to 2014, total flood insurance claims averaged $3.5 billion per year.
There are 5.3 million homes with flood insurance in the U.S.
The national average annual cost for flood insurance is $700.
Guess what 5 million times 700 is?
3.5 billion. What a funny stat.
In that time frame from 2005-2014, i know just off the top of my head 3 major cities that flooded. New Orleans, which is why they started this in 2005, Houston and Dallas.
$35 billion paid out in the last 10 years, yet in the 26 years prior only 15 billion was paid out. Katrina alone was $8 billion in federal flood claims just in Louisiana.

I don't think rebuilding is the issue, it's more like how will things be rebuilt....

because it didn't happen.
my aunt used to dispatch for waveland police.
over 30 feet of water over took the sheriffs office. she had to swim under water and out a window. water came in fast but it wasn't a tsunami. they don't even act that way every time.
you are a dumbass and don't know anything about science

Absolutely.
People build structures all the time in coastal areas that are designed to flood underneath. No reason similar strategies can't be implemented rebuilding in areas that flooded during this event.

But the cost will go up. No more ticky-tacky cheapo quick build homes 'flooding' LP and AP.
I think $$$ will force people elsewhere.

This is a clown thread. Of course we rebuild LP and AP.
With that said:
Ummmmmm....
LA has the worst public schools in America, so this isn't a selling point.

Legit question halftrack.
No body's gonna want to give up their home but this may be one of our only opportunities to begin growing our coast back. By diverting a good portion of the miss river towards lake maurepas we could save some of the coast east of the mouth.

I'll go back to googling pictures of water lifting homes off of their piers while you discuss structural repairs.
I know your mom and dad personally, btw
