Prob 50 or so friends and family lost their houses and cars today. Unreal. That much water so quickly. Most are under 6 feet + of water.

What's important is the wavy line at 46 and your actual slab elevation, if known (and of course the datum). Then the question is: is the flood above or below that magic 46 number?

Thanks, I'm about two miles from Port Vincent.
Here is the projection (pretty sure this auto-updates like most NWS graphics) :

It's about 1/4 of the way up the yards on the corner and rising about 4 inches an hour

I'd doubt it, but I could be wrong
It could be very close

shite this is moving fast. Claycut is apparently backflowing now too. I thought it would be another hour or two.

There likely will be flooding around the golf course judging from the flood maps.

Anyone know the closest motel to Jefferson/Stumberg? I want to send my cousins somewhere they can get to and be certain that it won't flood and thatthey can come back to Stumberg in the morning to check their things. Thanks.

okay, so if your house is above the 21.5 level, it should be okay around monday at that time?

If I flood I flood. I just have my wife and son sleeping and wish I knew if I could sleep tonight or have to stay up watching. I might need the rest if I have to make a move tomorrow. Of course I would just load them in the bay boat and untie from trailer and hope I don't actually go anywhere.

If you are right, things will be bad for Santa Maria, CCLA, Spring Lake, and Fairhill (and Gardere and eventually south campus).

Does that mean that the level in the Amite crest would be lower than the 21.5 projected because the water would be dispersed upstream in a backwater situation? Or am I off base?
