re: On the back side of Alligator Bayou...Parish ordered evacuation (Aug 15th)

I just drove over Manchac on Airline and I think it's flowing the right way. Didn't get a good look, but it looked to me like there was a little flowv towards the Amite

Agreed - there has been very little coverage or discussion about Alligator Bayou. I know other areas of the parish are in much worse shape, but the water is still rising here. Some discussion/prediction/information about what's going on there and what we might expect would be good information to spread out.
Appears to still be rising unfortunately. I'm hopeful that the sandbagging effort is successful, but like you said, it will take a lot of sandbags to do. Time to start hoping the Amite in Port Vincent drops faster.

Take it for what it's worth, as WBRZ did not elaborate, but Jay Grimes just mentioned that they expect to stop the flow of water over Alligator Bayou Rd and get Manchac to drain back to the Amite. I wish there was more coverage about what's going on there. Does anyone know if they're sandbagging through the night?
Where's the water going to go when Spanish Lake fills up? Is Old Dutchtown subdivision near 74/I-10 in any risk (~17 ft elevation)?

What's the elevation that it'll start spilling out of Spanish lake? At some point the water draining into Spanish lake will start draining to New River Canal (based on the observation that it's starting to run over Highway 74 by Bluff Rd), right? Won't that essentially limit the height the water will get to?

I apologize for this if this has been already asked, but what would all of this mean for Dutchtown? I live on the other side of I-10 in Old Dutchtown. By looking at all of the water levels, etc, I feel safe (elevation ~17 ft), but I'm not sure how Alligator Bayou/Spanish Lake would impact things.
