They have more skin in the game than you could ever imagine. It is deeply personal to them.

Sorry for the damage when you build on the coast you roll the dice sometimes you lose.
My father and I owned a camp on Hollybeach Pre Hurricane Rita. Again a camp not a house.
It was a camp, right on the beach, near the gulf, prone to hurricanes, and Hurricane Rita took it out. Even before the storm we would get water under the camp with strong South wind.
No ones fault we rolled the dice and lost.

What does an article about the governor have to do with people who actually design, manage and build the projects?

I hear ya but In this case we are losing because of man made decisions amplifying nature’s way.

I understand that. The government picked winners and losers. We lost. with no compensation.

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.
you're right. Should've never done anything to protect the rest of the parish. Long as your camp is safe.

Question for the board in general-is the OP correct about cause/effect of the levee?

what difference does it make? OP is no different than those who have camps in the Morganza Spillway. Its the risk you take. if your shite gets wrecked in the process, so be it. Its the price you pay to have that camp in that spot.
And while I understand his complaint that the levees were built AFTER he bought his camp, he's no different than any other property owner who buys property that is adversely affected by later development.
There are no guarantees with anything. Yes I sympathize with his and other camp owners losses, but it is laughable that he feels owed a thanks or compensation because a flood control project negatively impacted his camp. Not his home. His CAMP.

You purchased an asset in a flood plane.....now you have flooding and want to blame the severity of it on someone or something tangible like a man made levee? Shouldn't you just blame your own ignorance? America today lets blame someone else even though we knew it would flood. It was a worse flood than we thought so its something else's fault. GTFO.

don't know. I'm not an engineer or a meteorologist. I doubt you could get a clear answer on this question anyway.
But even if he is correct, what does that matter? Should we remove the levees?

Yes. the flooding has increased very notably since the levee. A sustained south wind in May now causes flooding, where it didn't before.

frick off. how the frick am I ignorant?
quote:

Again, frick off. We had no idea when we bought the property that the levee was being constructed where it is being constructed. Of course we understand that storms can come and cause flooding, but not to the extent that's happened since the levee was built.
quote:

Yes, it is the levee's fault.

you get the frick out. Instead of jumping on the bandwagon in this thread, try to understand something that someone else is going through.

when government does something so that a property is no longer usable or becomes unusable due to the costs to maintain, then it is considered a "taking". The remedy is that the government will compensate the property owner for his loss.
I may not be any different. But I still have to prove my case that the levee contributed to our losses. Then I have to surmount any immunities the parish/corps have.

I don't think I've ever suggested moving the levees. Don't be dense. There are other solutions such as compensation, but while Upper Terrebonne sits nice and safe, we are getting hit. I don't blame UT one bit for feeling smug and safe, but damn, have some consideration for those that are taking hits for their comfort and safety.
