So is the backflow supposed to stop later tonight after crests move south?


Not necessarily. Backflow can continue for some time after the crest has passed as long as the Amite River is higher than whatever bayou it's backflowing into. At some point after the crest has passed, the Amite River will then again be lower than the flooded areas and backflow will end and the flood will begin to pull back.

Just like backflow began before the crest arrived, it can last after the crest has passed.

No. Backflow will continue as long as the Amite River is higher than the bayou and fill the basin. At some point after the crest has passed, the Amite River will then again be lower than the flooded areas and then backflow will end and the flood will begin to pull back.




Exactly.

The Amite is not at it's highest point yet, and the Manchac is clearly still rising:



That is a current view of the cam.

The rate that it is rising is astounding. Look at this image from earlier today:





That was only 6 hours ago.

No. A shorter dark sinned Cajun. With a breathing machine. Been displaced since 3:30am yesterday morning. I didnt know where he was.

Stubborn father of three and grandfather to four. Irreplaceable.

I love the selfless people in BR. I often donate my time and efforts and shite like this reaffirms my faith in humanity.
