The alluvial plain of the Red River is heavily agricultural.
Outside of the alluvial plain, some parts of central Louisiana are hilly and covered with pine trees. These pictures were taken in Kisatchie National Forest in one of the hilliest areas.
Check out this timelapse video I took during Tropical Storm Irene in that spot. Notice the 2nd day the water never went back out. I've seen the deck get totally flooded in some NorEasters. I think Irene didn't hit during High tide
When I set it up I kept thinking, Hmmm, how high could the water come? I figured 15 feet was good enough. It got to about 13 feet. It's an outdoor weather proof camera but not sure its underwater proof. LOL
The scariest part for me was being 35 miles away not knowing if it was taking pictures. (I've had that happen) and not knowing if the wind knocked it down or turned it.
Then I went to get it couple days later the camera was soaked but in same spot and when I opened it, it said like 7000 pictures I was happy.
My Hurricane Sandy Timelapse was right on the beach but unfortunetly the worst of it came at night and so you can only see 10 feet in front of the camera.
It was tied to a flagpole.
But you can see the gate being damaged and the water coming up. Watch the islands on the right the swell of the Long Island sound was insane to see. Like someone underneath pushed it up 10-20 feet! Shoreline got pounded and ruined, Some pics added at the end.
In the beginning you'll see people get sand to protect their properties from flooding.
The pics go fast but if you pause it, you'll see the soil/sand was completely eroded away and the electrical pipes (2 feet under) were exposed!
