Most likely but it's not over until it's over and there is still a lot of bands before it will be over. The band going thru GPT right now looks to have a bit of a punch and will be making it's way through Slidell at some point.
as the wind changes to the south and east the water will rise. The southshore will empty and push to the north.

SCP Serious Post: Parish President VJ St. Pierre just announced on TV that we will have a 6' tidal surge at the Seller's Canal, which will put 1-2' of water in the subdivisions south of Highway 90 (Willowdale/Davis/Willowridge/Mimosa...etc). PLEASE GO CHECK YOUR DITCHES for any type of debris blocking waterflow to the pump stations. Balls, Limbs, Plywood, trash can lids...they are the worst! This is everyone's responsibility, not just parish employees! We are one community...let's do this right and help our neighbors and parish staff! (Please note that 1-2' will not necessarily flood your house, but the streets will flood...do your part and make sure your street can drain properly).
