I dont think you understand how big those two events were. Essentially 500 year floods back to back. Nothing was going to stop the place from getting flooded. Water was coming from Toledo and from the west from Texas.
The areas some of these people live in (I live pretty close) are in bottomland hardwoods with a deep sand layer. That sand got there from being deposited from the Sabine River flooding many many many times before Toledo Bend was a though and before any of us or our ancestors were here.
