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...

Probably implying that climate change has had an effect, such as influencing the amount of rainfall. Effects like this do occur (recent California drought worsened up to 20% by climate change), but it is too early to tell with this flooding. However, more extreme floods, droughts, storms, etc. will occur as a consequence of climate change.

NBC news reported 30" of rain within the last 72 hours with another 6" expected. That's some epic rainfall.

Y'all could suspend Saban for a few games, just as a show of solidarity.

That'll be the scene of LSU football once they stupidly fire Les Miles after this year.

Lol at the shitty SEC school liberal arts grads playing scientist.
We have also experienced the longest streak without a hurricane making landfall since 1900. Does that count too?
Was the Great Mississippi flood of 1927 also due to global warming?
