what area/neighborhood?
On Shady Lake Pkwy down towards Highland. Was told by the old timers that a few houses here flooded in the past, so was worried given the historic nature of this event. This house never flooded but water came up to the slab during one of the past flood events.

Burbank soccer fields flooded yesterday, so some of that could be water unable to recede.

Oh damn, so if that section of Nicholson is closing that means elbow bayou off of bayou fountain is rising right? Means the backflow is near staring?

I-10 is now 2-3 feet deep at Bayou Manchac and increasing, as per scanner.
This may be a dumb question, but here goes. According to online resources, I-10 elevation at that point is 19.6. To me that means that Bayou Manchac would be around 21.5-22 feet deep, which makes perfect sense since the crest at the Amite is supposed to 21.5 or so. I'm close to the area, but on the high side of Bluff sitting at 30 feet. Does that mean that Bayou Manchac would have to go up an additional 7 feet or so for me to have water in my home, or are there other variables I'm missing.

That area is screwed, I'll see if I can post pics from this afternoon around 3:30pm

Legally, yes, but you don't think there were people trapped today that needed to dial 911 but couldn't?
Some of them may be dead.

Nicholson and Gardere is shut down. Here is a map of where logjam backflow is occurring.
Red X's show active flooding situations currently reported.
Red arrows are where backflow is to be assumed.
Blue arrows are normal nonflooding flow.

WBRZ still showing the reading from last night. Manchac is well over 18.3.

A lot of it is. I do neural nets, decision trees, etc. as well as traditional logistic techniques. My work is currently being used to predict which students are at risk of dropping out at LSU, which prisoners can safely be released at the DOC (well, it is about to be used there, been working on that project), who to recruit for success, which financial brokers to invite to your investment firm, and a few other things.

Does anyone know if I'll be able to get back to my place tomorrow morning? I live at Boyd place across from 333 lofts. Shockingly the place was built on higher ground, so for now my place technically hasn't flooded. Appreciate the feedback and stay safe everyone

I'm near Riverbend in lake beau pre.. I'd say it's highly unlikely that either neighborhood sees any kind of significant flooding.

If anybody is wondering, all dry up here in Alexandria Virginia.

Wait....I thought they could still dial 911 with their phones, just not make any other calls

Common misconception. Water is coming from both sides though. The water uphill from you has to flow into you... but if the water downhill from you is backing up, it makes the water uphill from you less able to freely flow, and therefore it spills the banks.

Right, if it's 2-3 feet over I-10 then it's at least 21.5 or more, at least if the elevation numbers are correct

Good to hear, our place in Cameron Station almost didn't make it through the Winter of '09/10
