Stinking caps...
EMERGENCY RELEASES FROM THE DAM AT LAKE LIVINGSTON WILL CAUSE RAPID RISES ON THE TRINITY RIVER BELOW LAKE LIVINGSTON.
A MANDATORY EVACUATION HAS BEEN DECLARED FOR PORTIONS OF POLK...SAN JACINTO...AND LIBERTY COUNTIES BELOW LAKE LIVINGSTON. PERSONS ARE URGED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE RIVER
UNTIL WATER LEVELS RECEDE.

Fox reporter in St. Charles on now -- looks like the storm is still raging, river flooding downtown.
The RATS will figure a way out to get their votes in LA.
Lake Charles doesn't look good, still pouring rain and wind....BIG TIME! God please subside this storm!
St. Charles River has gone over it's banks...
Also, Housley is actually reporting, and has his hood up (rather than a baseball cap). No hysterics. Good job, Adam!
I knew it had to deal with the dam, but I didn't get to stay long enough (hubby was working on getting me upstairs to look at what he found at the green dump where he gets our firewood) to check.
Thursday afternoon on Hannity Joey predicted Galveston and right on up the I-45 corridor stalling short of Dallas and then going southwest down the I-35 corridor. He missed by 70 miles and a category. Exact same afternoon the NHC forecast put it as just west of Sabine Pass as a CAT 3 then to a slow crawl to the Texarkana area. They missed by 18 miles and hit right on the CAT.
Don'tKnowJackuweather can take another hike.
Darn, looks like LA is getting it from every side....Lifting prayers for the folk in LA...we are standing with you!
It was probably wise of them to go ahead and open the gates
with 10-12" of rain and counting upstream.
I wish there were a Livingston dam cam..its probably quite a site.
Have you seen this:

I wonder about Avery Island. Aren't the strategic pet reserves down there?
Thank you very much :))
Could you believe it? The hurricanae is still battering Louisiana!!!! Watching Lake Charles, still under violent siege, really makes Blanco's comments seem even more out of touch. Is she crazy?
YIKES!!! She dreams up some silly little job corps make-work project, (because Louisianians are too stupid to get their government hand-outs without help), while the hurricane still blows away the southwest corner of the state! This is beyond embarrassing!
That matches what the software says, right at 9 feet, at the edges...deeper at Port Arthur. Most likely.
Ditto on Houma, the report had the water's edge near there, not in town.

Big picture view, based on collected anecdotal reports to date.
Yes, and it is the media that drive this. When a reporter say something like - "Wolf, there are people stranded on the highway with no water." - I just want to scream who's fault is it they have no water! If the idiot is too dumb to fill up their car with gas, food & water (remember the evacuation order was give Tuesday) then it is their own fault.
My brother in law got a map, avoided I-45, left @4am Thursday and got to Dallas in 12 hours. Get a map, get supplies, and take responsibility.
