STORM SURGE PEAK NEARING

EOC Director Tab Toxler this morning said he expects water levels to peak early this afternoon. If levels should rise, it would be no more than another 6 inches.

Overnight water overtook the bulkhead along Down the Bayou Road in Des Allemands, but did not spill over the flood control tubes and temporary levees.

Water levels outside the levee protection in Bayou Gauche rose overnight as well, but there are no reported problems otherwise.

More to come...
