The water is starting to back up in some places around here. They saying Monroe,La. will have around 4ft of water. I hope not because that's where I work. Here where I live, I'll be fine because my elevation is higher.

 

Morning Randall. Man, what a mess. And who knows how long that water will be there.

 

Morning La. they say the gates will be open for atleast the next 3 weeks

 

Morning Mike. That's a hell of a lot of water.

 

I'll have to get some pics and post of all the water. One levee has already gave away.

 

and thats only one gate they opened one more last night. one gate puts out about 75,000 gaallons a minute

 

Mike, is this going to affect you?

 

The ironic part of this whole thing is that we are actually in a drought situation here locally and really need rain !!!

 

Morning Johnny. Crazy the way that's working out. My thoughts and prayers out to those affected by this. I just can't imagine having to leave your home for this.

 

As long as these old levee's hold i should be fine. The spillway was opened one time in 73 and it didn't flood the area i live in and i hope it won't this time

 

Well, I hope that you guys come out of this okay. I just can't imagine having to pack up all of your things, and evacuate your home.

 

Johnny we do need rain really bad but i don't think the river can handle anymore water. with the spillway open the river in Baton Rouge will be around 45' to 47' the levee protects to 51'

 

Too close for comfort.

 

Morning madness on Monday

 

Good Morning Louisiana!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
