State Troopers telling people along I-10 and I-12 that the people stuck on the highways should be prepared to sleep in their cars. Roads being closed everywhere. Rivers overflowing everywhere. Here's one of the many rescues today: I hope Ice is ok. Hey I am fine and all my family is fine - the new baby is wonderful ! - My 2 daughters with the one having the new baby stayed at Mother-in-Law last night. The roads are crazy but I made it to work for some early morning work and then off to see my house and bad the water got in it. I had sand bags at both doors and I think it will be close to water in the house or not. But I have a feeling water got in. 3 rivers that make up the Amite Basin all crested from 4 to 8 ft above record crest. You do the math and go from there - crazy flooding in parts of effected areas like my house that have never seen flood waters ! That's the deal - GLP is a awesome place but - those of you that make fun of folk that have just lost everything and others that have had to fight for life are sick in the brain Those of you calling out Louisiana - I got a deal for you Lets pour 31 inches of rain all over your area in less than 48 hours and see what happens and how you handle it I am thankful that most of you send Love and Prayers Blessings Glad to hear that while you have lost things, you've not lost lives. Blessings on you and Shalom through the recovery! Things are bad enough, there is no need to make anything up. ~Fluffy "Never interrupt an enemy in the process of destroying himself."

Yesterday, we found a video that was live on Facebook of a guy; he was just filming the fishermen showing up with their boats and where they were parking them and saying that the newspapers and the TV media weren’t covering it. One of my supporters said, when I put the video on my page, he said, it’s like Dunkirk. Nobody called them. They just showed up. [link to www.breitbart.com] |

It's called culture, family, a way of life. Many people in Louisiana made a life on the water for generations, and their children and grandchildren don't want to leave that behind. It's called the Sportsman's paradise for a reason. Truly a special place. People live in areas faced with the threat of natural disasters everywhere. As another poster said "pick your poison." |

It is believed to have crested, but the gauge at that location was lost in the flooding, so there is no official reading anymore. [link to www.wafb.com] |

The term was affectionately applied to the many fishermen, hunters and leisure boaters who arrived to provide back up to official first responders backed up with emergency calls for stranded residents.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71229951 Curious to know what prosperous area you would recommend in the North? For me and mine, we will remain in the South. My family has been here for over 200 years, and I haven't seen any place in my travels I would rather be. Yes, there may be beautiful places and more "prosperous" places, but my home is here. Maybe not Louisiana. I will return to my home state when I retire, but definitely the South. We have our problems, but nothing like what I see reported in other areas. |

When I was a kid, we lived for a short time in Louisiana. Everytime there was any rumor of flooding, my mom would load us up and drive for the hills. She had a definite fear of flooding. But again I will say that there is a strong connection between people of Louisiana and the water. I can't imagine some of them moving to the hills. |
