My neighborhood doesn’t have a ditch unfortunately… and I live on a circle, so all the water from the 4 houses on my circle, the water flows out of our backyards on each side of the houses and travels all the way down the circle to the drains that are located on the Main Street of my neighborhood… so my entire circle has no drains..
My issue is my back yard because when it rains hard like that, the water flows from the neighbor behind me yard, into my back yard, and then it’s got to go on each side of my house to get to the street… so my back patio and my living room tend to be in a risk when this happens

Just made it home took airline all the way from Gonzales to Jefferson and home to Essen no problem. I’m high and dry in cypress point which hugs the west side of the north branch of ward creek. Westminster is just on the other side and got fricked. Thought for sure I was coming home to some water, the west side must be higher up though.
There’s still Tons of stalled cars on Essen from last night. It’s pretty eerie

It seems everything on the east side of the north branch of ward creek is flooded (westminster). I’m just on the west side of it in cypress point which is in the back of Essen heights. Holding out hope that I’m not flooded. Still stuck at work
Hope you can get home now that it's been quiet for a bit - power was out 11:50pm-5:45am and took the internet out with it but both are back now. I don't know when the last time the west side ever flooded so hopefully you are good.

Glad you're good! Yeah west side is higher between 12 and 10, if you check the FEMA flood maps it looks like Westminster would have to have a Noah's Ark level of flooding before it came back west and it would start breeching the west side on the north side of United Plaza near the lakes, and would have to catastrophically flood that before starting to flood further south, but the last time I checked that I don't know that all of those garden homes were back there where you are, it was just empty land.

Bluebonnet Terrace here. The park that serves as a natural flood area had twice the water volume I have ever seen in it, It was very close to getting in homes. It was 2016 x 2 with tropical storm Allison thrown in. I was up night sweating this out and now I get to go remove my tree from my neighbors yard and see how bad the damage is to his stuff.

shite is unreal. our street didn't flood in 2016 but had easily a ft of water in the street today.
industriplex/picou/lakeland area water was touching the bottom of my tundra.
the fair grounds look like a lake.

Yes, it would be difficult to disagree with his speech. I doubt if he will find a worthy opponent any more than Tony Mancuso will in any election for their respective offices.

Actually not. The dumb bitch just posted in the wrong next door group.

Probably. Apparently this house is close to Jones Creek. No idea how the rest of the subdivision faired

Have a meeting on Canal St. for 10:30, I’ll be coming in from the northshore, should I be worried about flooding? I’ve never been downtown in the flooding and have no idea where to avoid.

Jamestown? It’s fine over here but I live in the front, not sure about the back but haven’t seen anything on the neighborhood app

reports that a law enforcement source tells him a body has been found in a vehicle that has been submerged in a bayou/canal off LA 415 in W. Baton Rouge since last night. Potentially our first storm-related fatality.

Downtown doesn't really flood. It's "high" which is why the French Quarter/"historic" part of the city was there originally.

All the models have failed to initialize the convection firing up already this morning and we will likely see more than what they’re indicating throughout at least the early afternoon today. Another 2-5 inches of rainfall across BR and Ascension today would be devastating.
