Thread: High Water!

Thank you so much. I appreciate your help in getting information. I will continue to check back. Several Trailers have been hauled out today and I saw the truck with road barricades go by this morning. I imagine road to the dam has been closed. Thanks again.

Is there some way to get those updates?

The National Weather Service and Rivergages.com has projections that you can keep an eye on. The information that I got from the Corp was a response to an email that I sent to someone with LDWF.

Those are the ones I've been checking but they don't give a predicted crest for Larto or I didn't see

Yeah I know. Keep an eye on the black river, especially @ Acme. The black river crested at 49.30 in 2016. That put Larto at 52.12. A difference of almost 3ft. This should help you gage what it will be, give or take a foot or less.

Looks like @ acme it will be around 45 on Tuesday....headed to larto Saturday

Where else can you folks get info like this? Great stuff. IMO
