Hope yall are safe.
Thanks for concern JW. We are high and dry.
Wife's cousin a few miles south of Amite just off I-55 had to be 'rescued' by a neighbor with a boat.
Waters are devastating in some places but not problem just a little piece away.

How about you? Your feet still dry?
 
We are dry but ATT is not working. It is bad, very bad. Hundreds of thousands are homeless.
 
Denham Springs dry and wet differences. The dry pic is just a little further away than the other one.

People are helping anyway they can. Financially, with goods, individually, through churches, Salvation Army, Red Cross, etc., and with sincere and heartfelt prayer for those in need.
In the Central community people have no flood insurance because they were told they didn't need it in that area. Water now up to the eves of houses. All contents ruined. Saw one lady on the news doing her best not to let it get her down. But you can just feel the strength being pulled out of her.

In spite of the good, there is also the other kind.
There was a news story about a man who crossed a river in his boat to rescue an elderly couple. Coming out of the area they saw a younger couple with a baby stranded on a balcony. So he picked them up. They wanted to go to a location back across the river. He took them and back across the river again with the first couple.
When they were getting out of the boat they discovered the young couple had stolen their back pack and what few possessions they were carrying.
This is what is meant by "white trash".

Things like this can make you angry to say the least. You can't really do anything about this, but rather than let anger rule, you can strengthen your resolve to counteract that by doing more good.
At least this is what I try to hold in my mind.

Amazing that the electricity is still on there. It would be the first thing to go out here--never could figure that out since the wires are all up on poles.
Good luck to yall Ryder.
Thanks greybeard. Personally I have no problems.
Some places have electricity, some not.
My brother bought one of those generators to power his whole house because the electricity would go out every time there was a heavy dew or a light breeze.
But this time he has not even needed the generator. Go figure.
 
Did you see the television footage of the 8 foot gator by campus? Channel 9 showed a gator snatching somebody's dog in the high water.
 
Can feel the pain SE Texas western La. went through the same thing this spring
All you can do is stay safe and get to high ground.
Our population has exploded in flood prone areas.
This isn't the first time and won't be the last .
 
Main Street in New Roads looking at False River. The water is usually about 15 -20 feet lower. That is the second floor of a restaurant on the right.
 
All their worldly possessions............in their hands..and not knowing what they'll return home to, or even if they will still have a home. The faces tell it all. :( :heart: :frowns:
