I think their are 6 new subs coming up right now (in construction) within a mile of that area. The future traffic on 73/74 is going to be a nightmare.

Is that new, because I swore that the insurance companies used to pretty much say "frick you" if you were looking to get it during hurricane season. Oh, or was it IF there was a storm in the GOM? Maybe that was it?
No, it's always been that way. Remember -- the NFIP is not an insurance company. It's a governmental agency.
Insurance companies will never bind any property & casualty business once a named storm enters a certain longitude & latitude. That's what you're thinking of.
Most private insurance companies no longer sell flood insurance because they got screwed by the NFIP after Katrina. Those that sold flood insurance before Katrina would pay the claim, then turn around and get reimbursed by the NFIP because all those flood policies were backed up by them. Well they paid the Katrina claims but were stood up by NFIP/FEMA. That's why they said "frick you" to FEMA and decided to no longer sell it unless it was directly through NFIP. Let the NFIP be on the hook from the get-go on flood claims.

In wondering what that will do to the existing neighborhood's market value?

I just made a thread on the travel board for anyone who is flying over the next few days and needs to be rebooked. More than likely the airlines will post a waiver soon if I had to guess.

Iberia Parish
Due to the potential chance of heavy rains during the next several days, Iberia Parish President M. Larry Richard would like to announce that sand bags are available at the following locations:
B.O.M. Fire Station
Grand Marais Fire Station
Coteau Fire Station
Rynella Fire Station
Delcambre City Barn
Loreauville Park
Lydia Fire Station
Shovels will not be provided, and residents should be prepared to fill their own sandbags.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the Iberia Parish Public Works Department at (337) 364-8474.
Lafayette Parish
Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG) reminds Lafayette Parish residents that the local sandbag stations are open year-round.
People wishing to sandbag their property may access sandbags at one of two locations:
North District sandbagging is located at 400 N Dugas Road (located off North University Ave.)
South District sandbags will be available at 1017 Fortune Road in Youngsville.
The two sites are "self-bagging," meaning the bags and sand are provided to Lafayette Parish residents free, at no charge, but residents will need to supply their own manpower and shovel. Residents are asked to limit their sandbags to four bags per exterior door, with a maximum of 20 sandbags per household. Sandbags are available to Lafayette Parish residents every day during daytime hours at the two separate locations.
LCG offers the following tips to keep residents and property safe in the event of a flash flooding situation or extended heavy rain activity:
Citizens can protect their property by ensuring ditches and street drains are clear from debris including leaves, limbs, trashcans and children’s toys, especially balls.?
During a flash flood or extended localized rain activity, it should be expected that storm drains and drainage channels will reach capacity, temporarily flooding roads and adjacent property.
In the event of localized street flooding, motorists should stay off roadways until all water recedes.
It is never safe to drive or walk into flood waters, even in a parking lot. All are cautioned to heed signs or barricades which indicate flooding ahead. If pedestrians or drivers find themselves upon a flooded area, they should turn around and take an alternate route.
Anyone experiencing flooding in a home and in need of emergency rescue should call 9-1-1. ANYONE in ANY emergency situation should call 9-1-1.
Flash floods can happen with little or no warning and occur when excessive rains fall in a short amount of time. During a flash flood warning, citizens should be alert and take necessary precautions.
St. Landry Parish
The low pressure system in the Gulf is increasing chances of rain over Acadiana. As a precaution, the St. Landry Parish Public Work has opened a sandbag location for residents.
Sandbags will be available at the Yambilee building, located on 1939 West Landry St. in Opelousas. The operations will begin at 7:30 a.m. and run until 8:00 p.m. this week June 19 through June 23, 2017.
The site will be a fill your own sandbag location. Residents are reminded to bring their own shovels. Sand and bags will be available.
"Parish President, W.K. Bill Fontenot, advises residents to stay weather aware this week and be prepared. Review your family and business emergency plans, check disaster supply kits, and stay tuned to local weather networks in case situations change."

I've seen Northshore people bringing up the topic New Orleans is screwing them because since they built the new levee system they're getting water in areas that never came close to flooding before even in the great floods. So the debate is they're backing water up to the Northshore.
I've heard this discussed a few times. The main issue I've heard discussed involved the flooding that La Place got from a hurricane three or four years ago. The new orleans levee system was the excuse they were using.
Seemed to me that the more logical reason was the path of the storm and the direction of the winds along with the big storm surge caused this.
There is always back and forth on these things. A friend of mine lives near port vincent and was really close to being flooded last August. He said that the main thing the probably saved him was the water that over flowed into Ascension Parish (Alligator Bayou maybe). He was worried that they are going to fortify that area on the OP side and he probably won't be so lucky next time.

L.c. t storms from Wednesday on thru weekend. Does not look special. 60% any given day.
Biloxi has 100% starting Wednesday.
Draw conclusion, worst of it is going to be east of you.

Many of them have left the NFIP's Write Your Own program, where they'd write the flood policy then get reimbursed for claims they'd pay out by the NFIP. Essentially the company would handle the policy from a servicing and claims perspective but on the back end the NFIP would pay that company back for any claims they paid.
Many of them got out of the WYO program after Katrina because NFIP didn't reimburse them for much of the losses they incurred. They then decided to let NFIP handle claims from the get-go.

Are these private carriers admitted?

As long as the homes stay dry I see them continuing to go up. New public schools right around the corner and business is steadily growing in the area. Factor in whats going on in BR right now, and I don't see prices coming down any time soon.
I strongly believe the prices in the area for raw land are way over inflated at 100k/acre, but people continue to buy it.
