Where is the gauge on Panama Canal that they read from? I left out of PP this morning and everything looked fine, so I also drove in the lower section of Ernest Floyd near 22 and water had started to come over the road, but not impassable. Like someone above said, it would have to get up to 7+ feet just to have water in the streets of PP.

I'm watching it today, but at the same time I feel pretty confident we will be ok there.

USGS Google Map with flood gauges

You can use this map and zoom in near PP and it will have a marker on the Panama Canal.
Once the market is pulled up, click current data link on bottom and that will give you a list of readings you can choose from

Sorry Indint have a more direct link, at work and juggling a few things.

Does anyone know if the water is receding around the Holy Rosary area in St Amant?

Thanks. Also, just to give more explanation to my previous post - that area on Ernest Floyd with water on the road is at about 4' elevation. I think (could be wrong) that the average in PP is around 9'.


EDIT - 9 AM reading at Panama looks to be flattening out at about 4.6. Rise in Bayou Conway is slowing down also.

Just drove Babin-JD Broussard-621 through Dutchtown-73-74-back to Babin around the Bayou G curve and all clear.

The last comment the AP director made last night was that they were making a cut into the Laurel Ridge Levee to allow water to drain into a swamp (like a spillway I guess) to relieve the water; per 8AM briefing it has apparently helped.

I understand. I just viewed videos the current owner of our house in Baton Rouge made. So incredibly heart breaking. She is a single mom with two children, working her arse off to make a good life, then this!!! So very sad.

No reason for all the pissy comments like this that have appeared on here. He was just saying he really went there and isn't speculating.

Probably been posted before but no harm in posting again.

Great website created for all flood related resources in one place: 2016 Louisiana Flood Resource Center

Not a pissy comment. Our community in the Greater Baton Rouge area has been devastated if you haven't noticed. Focusing on household task of painting, while others need basic necessities and help from others just to begin to put their entire lives together again is as selfish as you can possibly be.

My mom finally got back to her house located between Florida and Old Hammond. She lost just about everything she owned. The electricity is somehow still running.

And somehow despite the water getting about as high as her doorknob, the dog in the backyard survived.
