re: Flooding on LSU's campus

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.

The water levels north of Baton Rouge up toward the Miss state line are receding but that wave of water is what is causing the backwater flooding in Baton Rouge Area. All this water has to go into Lake Maurepas and it just cant get there fast enough. I have heard numbers of 24" of rain since Friday...
