Bayou Manchac video from an hour ago
Water is flowing pretty damn hard in reverse still based on this video with people saying the backflow is getting worse. This makes me wonder if the Alligator Bayou Road levee is compromised since Santa Maria levels are falling.

Yeah, luckily we are good here as well. Glad to hear you guys made it out ok.

All I know is that people said bayou fountain was going down and then when the gauge at bluebonnet and Burbank started working again it went up almost 2ft from the last reading

I wish there was a live map the state could put up showing red, yellow, and green areas for flooding, stagnant, and draining. That would help a lot

That gauge is at my parents house. It lags because it is all the way on the other side of the swamp and water has to flow around the back side of kleinpeter to get to the gauge. It looks to have been about an inch an hour or less there all day.
Thanks for the input. I've got no problem understanding that there can be a lag upstream as none of this is instantaneous, but when you combine that with reports that water is going down very, very near those gages in Santa Maria, it is all a bit strange.

Where the water used to be in the street, it is receding leaving lots of stinky crud. Where the water used to be in the "lake" that used to be the golf course, it has receded several inches leaving residue. [in Santa Maria]

The flow just doesn't seem to make sense. Water level for bayou fountain has dropped inches at university villas and summerwood is reporting the same thing, however, it seems like burbank/bluebonnet and highland/burbank/seigen is rising. I also noticed around 7pm when I was driving around that bluebonnet place apartments was starting to collect water as people were moving their cars out to burbank

Soooo, I've been riding around St Amant all day and now it looks like I'm gonna have to get out. I thought this damn river crested already???
Reminds me of when Jay Grimes said Katrina was a minimal Hurricane.

Is the rumor about a curfew true?

I'm with you the only way it would make sense is if the Levee failed which would lower the water in Santa Maria and at the same time increase the rate of backflow

Dunno how Santa Maria drains, but the faster water going to St Gabriel could be drawing the highest stagnant water in Santa Maria out very slowly

Does anyone know if the water is still rising in the St Amant area around Holy Rosary?
Posted on 8/15/16 at 8:19 pm to Hammertime
Yup... This video shows that an hour ago, it definitely was flowing backwards.

It's flowing into something. Obviously that something so far has been Spanish Lake Swamp.

The individuals monitoring the data for usgs should have the correct time stamp on the readings. That's unacceptable.
There is quite a bit of unacceptable shite going on with gages all throughout the area.
For instance, this is an incredibly relevant gage, but it certainly hasn't been treated as such:
and this one too...
and this one...
I could go on, but you get the idea. If you can't get to the gage for a measurement, or you cannot actually measure it for some reason, don't just settle for a flat reading. That shite can cost lives.

Cowboyfan..can't post pic..if you turn left on Henderson off Norwood it's the second house on the right before the bayou. 3 feet up on the house. The trailer hood in the back of Holton got water up to some trailers that were 5ft off the ground. Family lost 3 vehicles
