Just moved to Baton Rouge. A few drops of rain and this whole town starts to pool. Very interesting region.

- meddlin 4y agoAsk people about 2016 if you haven't already been told. That Amite River isn't one to be ignored, nor the Comite.
- cmpb 4y agoWe do get a lot of rain and there are a lot of low areas. It was mostly "bottomland" before the woods were cleared out. Back in 2016, it basically rained for 15 straight days and flooded huge portions of north and east Baton Rouge. The past couple of weeks (start of August) have also been relatively wet, so that's likely why you're seeing excess water right now.
- Geonode 4y agoI love it, and I'm loving Baton Rouge.
- excitom 4y agoIt's interesting to venture close to the levee and note fresh water springs bubbling up from the pressure of the river flow. Then you realize you are standing below the surface of the river, which is reinforced by seeing large ocean going ships sail by above you.
