You're Welcome Upper Terrebonne Parish--Barry related

Upper Terrebonne owes a big thank you to anyone that sits below the newly constructed levee. While your water levels did not rise at all during Barry, below the levee in Dulac, we took on 6 feet of water for a TROPICAL STORM.
We are fortunate to have the means to take the hit, but many camps below the levee are total losses with much uninsurable real and movable property damage. Similar flooding was experienced for much more powerful storms like Rita. I guess this is a sign of what is to come.

Also, Cypremort Point saw a water level increase of 10 feet in 24 hours. With no levees upstream...

Nobody owes you a thank you for anything. You are the one that decided to own something in an area extremely prone to catastrophic weather.

I worked on several of those levees and gates. Glad they worked well.

Cat 1/Tropical Storm is now "catastrophic." Noted.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Look at the storm surge in sister lake. it registered 9ft and that is far away from any levees. Fact was this storm had a higher storm than expected but it was not because of water stacking behind the levees.

then explain it to me. I concur that the levees worked (unless you were below them). We didn't buy knowing the levees were being put up.
also, OhFace doesn't owe a thank you. he's above the levee and allowed me to put my boat at his property. I'm sending him steaks.
also, why did my marsh camp, which is five miles below the levee and between the levee and sister lake, sustain less surge than the camp right near the levee?

Cool. Now maybe you can get the parish to come get rid of mud and clean the ditches.

The Aug 2016 storm was neither a Hurricane or TS and it was catastrophic.

It caused a 6 foot storm surge according to the OP correct? The result of the storm was significant enough that the OP needed to come on the internet and talk about the destruction to people’s property, correct?
Sorry, maybe I should have not used the word “catastrophic” and used the phrase “you decided to own property in a place where your shite could get wrecked on any given day due to Mother Nature.”

Correct. It also didn’t flood coastal areas the same way as hurricanes do. 2 different scenarios.
Posted on 7/22/19 at 5:14 pm to Fat Neck
That surge would have been 2 feet on four point road had the levee not been there

Lower Terrebonne parish is not long for this world. The levee now will only accelerate this timeline even more. If you own a camp in Dulac or Cocodrie, there will be a time in our lives ( I am early 40’s) that coco marina will be the modern day TEXACO CAMP that used to stand in Lake Pelto.

I worked there and lake barre for Texaco close to thirty years ago, was getting sketchy back then.

Maybe you can sue NWS for loss of use of your camp. Have you tried?

I think this may be a bit exaggerated, though I will say I saw stuff in the marsh and islands this past weekend that absolutely blew me away. They need to start buffering the islands with rocks and then hopefully coming behind and pumping more sand in.

I’ve seen it in grand isle and one of the parts of last island, but not much from what I’ve seen.

It’s gonna be an even bigger problem/expense, when the surges are able to travel unmitigated from the gulf.
