Thanks for the replies. Sounds like the campus is on higher ground, or protected by a levee. Kept listening for some news about whether the campus was also flooded.
I saw one picture where it looked like a construction site had flooded, and some others that I couldn’t definitely recognize as LSU that did show flooded parking lots early in the week.
Here’s something that doesn’t look as useful as it might be. https://uploads.knightlab.com/storymapjs/cf87f519bc17bebffbd3376a72605be8/mapping-south-louisiana-flooding/draft.html
I just got a picture that shows the campus flooded. I don’t know what to believe just yet but the only thing separating it from the Mighty Mississippi is the levee and last time I was down there the river was up and it looks as though it wouldn’t take much to top the levee down there.
