...STORM SURGE FLOOD AND STORM TIDE IMPACTS... EXTENSIVE STORM SURGE FLOODING OF LOW LYING COMMUNITIES HAS SPREAD NORTHWARD INTO UPPER TERREBONNE UPPER...UPPER LAFOURCHE AND UPPER JEFFERSON PARISH AND THE WEST BANK OF ST CHARLES PARISH NEAR BAYOU GAUCHE. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS REPORT LOCAL LEVEES ARE IN DANGER OF BEING OVER TOPPED. STORM SURGE FLOODING IS IN PROGRESS ON THE NORTH SHORE OF LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN FROM SLIDELL TO MANDEVILLE.
Slidell was swamped by Katrina. Hopefully this is just overtopping and will halt before much water gets over.
Are these areas that were spared by Katrina?
Yes. Lake P should go to at least normal plus 8 feet. When the wind stops, that will slosh back south, with....predictable results.
UPPER Terrebone?
Upper JEFFERSON?
Not good.
Not good at all.
