Jefferson Parish Public Works Director Kazem Alikhani says the river is clearly on the rise here.
"I think right now the elevation is 14 and a half feet, expected to reach 15 feet by Thursday or Friday and eventually 17 and a half or 18 before it crests," said Alikhani.
That's just two feet below the 20-feet of protection from the Mississippi River levees.
"I think right now, there is no reason to panic," said Alikhani.
