Loyd’s front yard; Lake Macgregor

driveway;water starting to recede; notice the thin leaf line

gates to the driveway, 7 ft tall normally

high on a hill, with a street below, parklands beyond, and a normally gentle bayou down another steep slope

Loy’s patio as a water feature; all the areas beyond were street and parklands

Loyd’s front yard; lakefront now

another view of Loyd’s front yard; the bayou should be beyond the berm, and not visiblefrom here

the vacant lot next door where the owners were bought out by FEMA, with good reason!

notice the telephone pole on the other side of the flooded street

Loyd’s driveway concrete in the bottom right, a street under water, and the bayou taking its perogative
