They have been everywhere and have zero respect for anyone but themselves.

I refused to move from the middle of the road after the 5th car. we parked and walked through the water in order to. it create waves. these idiots don't care, one guy came out of his house yelling at them and got flipped off by a group of high school/college age guys.

It is strange the Bayou Manchac @ (1) Bluff Rd. and (2) Alligator Bayou gauges are still going up, while (3) French Settlement and (4) Port Vincent are going down.


That's because Bayou Fountain (would be off map in top left) is still at 15' and I suspect Manchac in Santa Maria (right of the Alligator/Bluff gauges) to be in the 15-18' range. Alligator is only at 12' so all that water is going there instead of back to the Amite. Amite/Manchac gauge isn't working but I'd suspect it's in the 15-20' range. Until all that equalizes it's going to keep dumping into Alligator Bayou/Spanish Lakes.

If I'd have had my gun on me down Black Bayou rd the other day when some jackleg did 25 mph in shin deep water y'all would've seen me on the news.

Were those in the middle of the road or at the edge? Could you tell how big of a section of road gave out?

Me and Killa got what we could out, water receded out of our house from what we've heard. I have a ride in a F-350 tomorrow and I'm going to take pics and start demo.

Hard to tell from this Video but looks like they were maybe 3/4 on the road--enough to let military vehicles through but that is a wild guess.
