Flooding as of yesterday afternoon right next to campus (source is Baton Rouge Advocate): 
Flooding as of this morning: LINK.
Here's an elevation map of campus (can't find a current aerial photo of it online, so this is only a potential-worst-case-scenario diagram)...it should be noted that most (but not all) students who live on campus reside on the higher ground side...but that the sports facilities are within the "death valley" (red) section of campus:

I thought it never rained in Tiger Stadium

Will it get worse as water goes downstream? That's bad.

Dang, according to your map the stadium has 9ft of water in it.

Climate change/global warming is real.

According to Jacques Doucet last night, LSU actually scrimmaged yesterday at the indoor practice facility.
Sorority Rush was pushed back one day according to my daughter.
And campus move ins were postponed but no real reports of damage have come out on the news.
For those not in the BTR area, The LSU Campus area does not appear to be in big jeopardy but Central and East Baton Rouge are getting hammered today with backwater flooding. The tri-parish area of EBR, Livingston, and Ascension Parishes are having epic flooding never seen before in this area.

No, I specified above that pic that it was an elevation map/worst-case-scenario diagram. It's not a pic of the current flooding--I can't find a current pic of the stadium--it's not likely to get as bad as that diagram shows unless a Category 3 or higher hurricane pushes a big-time storm surge in.

This. Have family in Denham Springs and they've lost everything with the flooding. Truly terrible.

From what I've read, it seems to be peaking right now...rain apparently has slackened, so higher areas are finally starting to drain off a bit--but the lower areas are now starting to see backwash as gravity catches up.

Ok, and?? What does that have to do with flooding during an abnormal rain event in an area that is close to sea level?
Posted on 8/14/16 at 8:05 pm to TheDude321
That's an absolute perfect storm worst case scenario, but like I said, interesting.

Yep. It's too bad this board is filled with backwoods rednecks who think otherwise. They're the same idiots who think Trump is actually mentally fit to be president, but I'll save that talk for the poli board.
