Thread: Red River flooding video in S'port/Bossier

and its got 1.5 feet higher to go.

WOW.......

Hope all is well with you Buster. Read in the paper today it will crest this weekend. Some folks had to evacuate.

That is a sad sight.

Just heard this evening the river is at the 1990s level now and going up another foot to crest at 35.5 ft 5 ft above major flood stage
Everything that sheds into the Red is backing up
it ain't pretty

Now they're saying 36.5, and it'll take a while to go down. I drive over it every day, and I'm seeing flooding all around it. There's a pasture that had a dead cow in it, but it's since washed away. Construction site where I-49 is merging into I-220 is flooded out...their trailers are all partially under water. Even heard they might be closing the Vet's home on the Bossier parkway. I know it's a bad deal for a lot of folks....at least it isn't a flash flood, so people had some time to prepare what they could.

Bummer. I wonder if it will get worse when the Texas and Oklahoma flood control lakes open their gates. You would think they would consider the folks downstream though.

I can see why now that the Uncle Bud's cabins on Larto were built to float. That place is going to get hammered.

Well the Red is at 36.56 and has a little to go according to this prediction. I just talked to Cajun Dave and he said water is entering Shreveport in various locations. He said the apartment he used to live in has 3 foot of water in it. Some people are hurting real bad right now. I've been through that a few times and it ain't no fun.
