40' sounds about right for that area according to this map. I imagine that the top of your finished slab is built up a foot or so higher (perhaps more).

I'm worried about the horses in prairieville. 30 some locked in the barn for the night. No real waterway in the area but there is a creek that flooded the pastures at about 4.

I'm not far from Tommy's Fish House and we're OK for now.

Goddamnit I don't know that area and my brother is being completely unhelpful and that's where he is.
Will not give me an address for fricking anything. Near "Tommy's Fish House" and Airline if that means anything. I know absolutely zero about that area.
They are very close to the Prairieville Wal Mart. Look for Old Perkins and Airline.

They are talking pleasant ridge Rd in walker
Dawson Creek is not the Pleasant Ridge in Walker. I told them where I live. They are responding to me.
Believe me, I had a mini heart attack earlier when they were talking about Pleasant Rdige in Walker already

I am not there. But I am going to try to get there and put them inside. I have to drive there from Highland/Lee. My place is two story, so we'd have to experience an apocalypse for them to not be safe indoors.
It is a matter of finding them though.
Be safe. Your cats will probably find higher ground on their own.
I'm not sure when the back flow into Dawson Creek will start right there. Watch the gauges on the river.

There are two Pleasant Ridges. I originally didn't say the name of my place on purpose because I knew y'all were talking about Walker.

I'm thinking they mean more of that intersection coming from Old Hammond. I don't know that area terribly well and they weren't specific. Hopefully someone who knows this area better can hopefully give the most likely scenario.

Is water crossing hoo shoo too rd by bayou manchac close to Elliot?

My apologies, if this has been posted already. Been traveling all day and gotten nothing but bad news...
Tomorrow's Advocate:
White areas have a 0.1% of occurring in any one year aka 1,000 "year" flood:
As of now, it looks like 31" was the top total beating the Spring '16 totals and Alison from 2001:

hard to interpret from the police scanner. Millerville runs downhill to old Hammond from Avalon, so it makes sense that they'd close it at Avalon.

Okay, I am looking at these maps and I'm a little worried about my sister and her family. They are zone X but are, to me, uncomfortably close to the blue. She lives in an apartment complex just north of Jefferson Highway between Stumburg Lane and Morning Dove Drive...I can't remember the name of the complex. Everything south of her is blue. I might do it anyway, but should I advise her that she should prepare a bug-out bag and be ready to move?

LL, is your condo in Pleasant Ridge really in danger?

Looks like the elevation at tommys is around 22.5. Manchac is supposed to crest around 21.5. It's going to be close with only a foot of play to account for back flooding

Terd, have you heard anything about the main drag in Walker? Any businesses underwater?
I haven't heard about anything in Walker. My parents went out of town yesterday and I told them to not even try coming back today. I'm pretty much stuck between Holden and Albany so I haven't been able to check on their house.
They were checking their security cameras earlier but last I heard the cameras were down. Guessing that the power went out.

Just got through walking that area (I live near there). Honey Cut Bayou is inches from the bottom of the bridge.
The storm drains there go to the Amite and have backed up well across the road from north of the bayou until just south of Maple Ridge (Avalon subdivision). We're in Fairwood Estates and watching our drains back up onto our roads (they empty into Jones Creek).
