100% dry in Tara especially back in 2016. Plus Tara is on the same power grid as BRPD HQ.

You ascend about a 20’ hill heading east. I grew up in that area and have old friends still there. That area never flooded, including 2016. Not even close. Now Guice Road and Clarke Road areas are different.
Wrong. I lived there at Clark and Plank as a kid. I remember playing in about 3 feet of water in the front yard one time.

Brownfields- between Ryan Airport and Baker. Has never flooded-

2016, the flooding along Hooper from the Comite stopped at Foster Rd.
You can get a flash flood from poor drainage and heavy rains, but that drops quick, it even did in 2016.

When I was little grew up off Longfellow and Hollywood by Exxon. I saw I-110 being built and remember when drunk people missed Hollywood Exit and I-110 which was the last exit. People would drive past that barricade and fall off I-110.

Front part of Riverbend stays very dry. Back part of the neighborhood takes all of the water

It’s not a hurricane without a Jeffie Pants update from Houma.

Damn straight. I know of only one house in Tara that has ever flooded. It’s just a design flaw and it’s way too low on that one lot.

There are actually parts of Oak Hills that will flood. I know someone who flooded a few months ago in Oak Hills. There are some places where it’s low

College hill/university acres
We sit right on the north side of highland. My water just flows to the people on Burbank. If I flood, the entire city is gone
I used to rent a place in University Hills. If that place ever floods, someone will have already built an Ark.

Did yours flood? I was referring to the house at the very end of Ashland next to the creek. It’s flooded at least three times.
I’m very familiar with your street as I grew up there in the late 70s and 80s. I now live in another filing but still own a house on your street as well.

Ah yeah...can see how that one takes on water. Nah. Got about 2 feet from the steps last month.
Don’t think you have a house on my street if you live elsewhere. All of us are owner-occupied. That should give away where I live...

I know exactly where you live but didn’t want to out you on here. I played in that ditch every day as a kid. I grew up on Ashland and still own a house there.
