Rain and wind hitting here now but don’t know wind velocity, however, a few minutes ago I heard a huge crack, a sure enough, one of our old Spanish Oak’s lost a lower level branch that had been hanging, but thankfully it landed in our yard and NOT on the power line.

Another River water gage in Louisiana has broken its historic high water mark. Record set in 2008. This is for the Tickfaw River at Springfield. This river travels through the town of Springfield and enters Lake Maurepas, which is the smaller Lake just west of Lake Pontchartrain.

Tickfaw River at Springfield (85300)

Select the 3 Days Plot and then select Plot then turn on Record High Stage then select View Graph.

So the northern area of Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas are significantly flooded. Once that north west traveling wind subsides, this water will eventually be putting pressure on the New Orleans levies to the south.

Still waiting for rain to let up so I can begin cleaning up branches and un-boarding house.
This sucker still giving us rain bands, I was expecting clear weather by now.
Getting too old for this, LOL.
