Amite is also flooding downstream at HWY 22 near Maurepas, seven inches above flood stage, both locations appear to be in decline. Bogue Falaya River, a tributary of Tchefuncte River reached well into moderate flood at Boston St in Covington, currently running two feet over minor flood stage and receding. See black tags on the map to the right, indicating sites in the reference network where flood flow information is available.
WT HAB Tracker from the satellite monitoring program of National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS)
A satellite image of Lake Pontchartrain and the southeast water bodies is dated Sep 12, taken at a wind speed 11.5 mph. This image is mostly cloud obscured, the previous image of Sept 8 shows Lake Pontchartrain with no HAB activity or too low to visualize. Lac des Allemands and Bayou Fortier have been carrying a high concentration lakewide HAB for weeks, the concern for flooding around this area including mobilization of cyanotoxins. Continue to exercise caution around these water bodies. See the latest LA HAB Tracker report, here.
