I didn't look up the extent of the aftermath when the record of 23ft was hit, but looking on google maps, that location is pretty deep into LA; lots of room downstream for a major disaster. Population wise, hopefully its not too loaded.

with an off-the-charts type flooding situation like this, they quickly need to look off-the-charts towards the worst possible situation. 

Like the 2 nuclear power plants in and around the baton rouge area.  severe flooding rains will continue the next few days.    Hopefully their at a very high elevation.
