On this day in 2016: A slow moving front ladened with tropical moisture, dumped 3 to 13 inches of rainfall over a few hours, causing the Bogue Falaya River to reach record levels, flooding a large portion of western St. Tammany Parish. The Tangipahoa River also recorded its third highest crest at Robert, only to be exceeded by heavy rainfall later in August 2016.
