Yep. The last time it was this high (when we were working as summer staff 12 years ago) there was a small gator in the little decorative pond close to the dining hall. We tried to catch it a few different times. It eventually moved on.

The river goes out of banks a few times a year, and gets pretty close to the yurts once a year or two. When DS was weeks old we had to park at our neighbor's cabin and wait for our houseguest (who had waded/swam home) to bring the camp truck and pick us up. That's been about 4 years. But all the flooding in North La is making this time a little different.

Y'all really been getting hammered down there. Every time I hear the news there's another death or two attributed to the flooding. I guess that's just a way of life in LA
 
This is with my heels in the water, looking toward main camp.

Same yurt, just around the bend a little. My van is parked at the top of the slope. Water would have to be VERY high to reach main camp. Though it makes me wonder if that slope is man-made, or part of the 100-year flood plain.

For those of us down here if say yes. For those up north I'd say it's almost totally unheard of. My grandma talks of a few big floods back in the 30s-40s, before some of the levees and whatnots they do now to prevent these things. She was up in the Sabine River area, central of the state. Not sure which parts you've heard about... I went to school at LATECH in Ruston, and it never flooded in the years I was there as a kid, or any of the time I was in college.
