The worst of it. But it happened upstream so that didn’t help.

Bush might have to blow the levee to let water into the canals.

Yep, the Euro is trending toward the GFS. ICON and the the Canadian are now the models that have the vorticity the farthest north.

Looking at that rain projection this would be like asking for a lap dance and having a 400 pound stripper come waddling over.

I’d be careful what you ask for with this.

Setups that do this are why the coastal region designation lines extend further inland than most people think. A slow-moving tropical system just dumping massive amounts of rain inland while modest wind is pushing surge against the coast. We've seen it before on more localized locations, eg Laplace during Isaac. The storm is pushing water into Pontchartrain while the the rivers are dumping into Maurepas and Pontchartrain.

West of the river isn't safe, either. Modest surge can get pushed up into the Barataria Basin with no where for the watersheds above it to drain to. I remember going from BR to Nola after Isaac, and since I-10 was closed, we had to go back along the west side of the river. I had worked on a lot of computer flood modelling after Katrina, and it was amazing to see how closely our maps lined up with reality. Our models worked, and it was terrifying. It really impressed on me how bad the perfect slow-moving storm would be for the region.

I'm getting off topic, so excuse me. Anyways, back to model watching.

I forget which storm in the 1990's before the new levees were built.

Didn't the Harvey Canal almost flood Jefferson because of a storm system that dumped alot of rain and there was no where for the water to go but up and Jefferson Parish had to deploy sand bangs to prevent the levee from over topping.

Now there is a huge floodgate and pump station at the foot of the Harvey Canal to pump out the canal as water is pumped into the canal from the drainage areas in Jefferson Parish.

It is a good thing to be in the crosshairs this far out. Your family vacation will be alright.
