Not a problem. I don't know exactly what's going on in those neighborhoods, but considering they're all fed by the same creek, I'd bet they're seeing the same results.

The water is still flowing in the correct direction behind Highland Creek, quite rapidly.

Waiting up until 1am because I thought that's when the cresting at Bayou Manchac was taking place. Pat Shingleton's arse just shits in my cereal and now says it's cresting at 3am!

I'll either be flooded at home or running boat again where needed

Just checked the water levels at Keystone of Galvez. Lake is definitely rising but still has 3-4 feet from houses in some places and 5-7 in others.

Devall Rd. is completely flooded over so those of us here are here until the waters go down.

Half of Keystone is without power (they Keystone Drive side)

Water should be cresting right now. I'm thinking the next 2 -2 1/2 hours will be the make or break point for us.

Will go back out around 2:30 and check the water levels then.

Prayers out to everyone. I know some pretty close to here were not nearly as lucky as we have been so far. Just a horrible situation I never thought I would see.

They are really just guessing, no gauge to accurately read there so it could be cresting now or at 3 am. Port Vincent has only gone up .3/foot in the last few hours, and it's south of Bayou Manchac, so I'd assume BM has to be pretty close to crested

That drawing appears to accurately depict what's going on.

North of Burbank between Lee and Staring seems to be pretty stagnant. But we have heard about rescues behind lakeside and I've seen plenty of vehicles parked out front of Pelican Lakes, because the water is high back there. Also explains why they closed Nicholson at Gardere, it appears that Elbow Bayou is flooding everything south of Burbank.

Kenilworth looks like it would be fine with the backflow, correct? Just wanting to make sure before I hit the bed

Thanks for explaining some of this, I am not actually there so I need you guys to be my eyes and ears. Impotent has been incredible at that!

my FIL's a good dude too. We're just not at the "let me drive your fancy truck" stage yet.

But his is a company vehicle, too. So who knows if that'll ever happen.
