Should people wait until after hurricane season to rebuild? Like say mid October?

Looks like i-10 westbound at Bayou Manchac is close to reopening. They have put cones to direct traffic to one lane on the inside shoulder and the big message board sign now has a message. That will certainly ease the traffic on the Airline.

Not sure about diverting so much as retaining. The more water that flows over the road the more erosion...i.e. likelihood of a "breach"...thats when all the water behind the road (EBR) side has a new place to go...and it would be very quick.

I don't think a hurricane causes that type of flooding in the areas that flooded here.
With major hurricanes the damage is wind and surge. With smaller TS type storms, it's a stalling system rainfall. Which is why what happened here is so similar to an Allison-type event.
I don't think anyone should hold off on rebuilding for a date. You gotta start to move forward - either with rebuilding or relocating.

They just mentioned a voluntary evacuation for swamp rd in Pville. We haven't seen any indication of water, anyone know the area?

Coming to cook. You should have seen the shite that family did for the community after Katrina. Those people are the tits.

My folks are in that neighborhood, water has been receding. My understanding is that roughly this area didn't go under. I don't see a Lakeland though.

Going forward I hope people remember events like this and the March flooding when models suggest 10-15 inches of rain. Before those events, predictions of that type would draw criticism, particularly in hindsight when they were underwhelming. People need to be smart and vigilant, and if an event underwhelms, be thankful, not critical to those who are trying to do their job and provide reasonable warnings (NWS, real mets, etc.)
The caveat is that the internet doom and gloom hobbyists should be taken with a grain of salt.
ETA I'm not including someone like supernovasky in those doom and gloom folks. He was basically piecing together the information available on the NWS website and putting it into practice terms for people on the board. By and large he avoided speculation.

My whole point of the comparison is that this is the last time we saw this level of devastation. The parallels are striking - even if the numbers are a bit more one way or the other.
A friend of ours lived in some DR Horton community in Livingston and referred to her neighborhood as "Da Parish Northwest" due to all of the St Bernard people that relocated there and stayed after Katrina.
For those people to go through this again... I can't even imagine. My heart tears for them and I'm worried about their mental state.
