Hurricanes, tropical storms and countless low pressure systems have pushed water through the Menetre Park boat launch and up 3rd Street toward her home, but only once has she seen anything like what happened Saturday (March 12). "We were up all night," Rottmann said. "I didn't know where the water was going to stop."

As it turned out, the flood water crept up her street for several blocks before stopping about a half block from her home. Unlike other Covington residents living in areas near the many tributaries that snake through the city, the Rottmanns' home remained dry. "This is only the second time we've seen it to this level," Rottmann said.

While the Rottmanns escaped, dozens of other Covington residents ended up with water in their homes, Mayor Mike Cooper said. Neighborhoods such as the Savannahs, Covington Point, Oak Alley and the Ozone were among the hardest hit. Emergency responders rescued dozens of residents from their homes between 8 p.m. Friday and 3 a.m. Saturday, city officials said. As late as Saturday afternoon, residents in communities such as Tallow Creek were still seeing water rise around their homes. Several businesses in the Boston Commons complex area also took on water as the Bogue Falaya rushed over the Boston Street bridge and into eastern fringe of the city's commercial district. Most of the businesses west of Lee Lane were spared, as was the popular The Chimes restaurant, which backs up to the Bogue Falaya. Cooper said the city did not yet have an estimate on how many structures in the city were flooded, but the mayor said he has never witnesses the level of flooding on Boston that occurred overnight.

"It's the highest I've ever seen," he said. "It was beyond Lee Lane. That's a lot of water." Although 11th Street and some others around St. Tammany Parish Hospital on South Tyler Street flooded, spokeswoman Melissa Hodgson said the hospital and its emergency room have remained accessible. "The community hospital is safe, dry and serving patients in need," she said. Jane Loyd, co-owner of A Cut Above in the Boston Commons complex, spent Saturday morning pushing water from her hair salon. The building took in about 3 inches of water. In the 28 years she has been in that location, water has approached the door but never entered. "We've never had it this bad," Loyd said. "It's going to take some time to clean up." A few doors down from the salon, attorney Michael Helm and his wife Kellie were putting the law office back together Saturday after frantically disconnecting computers and moving files the day before in anticipation of the flood. On Friday night, they huddled with Covington Police officers behind their building, watching the water move closer and closer.

The river crested around 1 a.m. Saturday at a record 20.07 feet. Water lapped at the doorstep of the Helm law practice but didn't enter the building. "We just knew we were going to come here today and have find 2 or 3 feet of standing water," Kellie Helm said. While the Helms must reconnect electronics, restart computers and reassemble the office, they hope to be back in business by Monday. Looking at some of the neighboring businesses that took on water, Michael Helms said gave a quick assessment of his situation. "We are blessed," he said.3 Covington Restaurants You Must Try There are a number of excellent Covington restaurants that you must dine in during your vacation.
