    How much did you get the other day when NO flooded?

    Some models have it going to the east of us and some west. If we get the east side of the storm they said 8-10". That is going to suck if that happens!!! Hell the water is just starting to go down in places, less the MS river.

    So far, we havnt gotten anything. When I posted they had us in the 20-25 inch range and everybody stared having flash backs from the 16 flood. Now they have us in the 8-16 range. That still stinks but not as widespread devastation. We still picked up everything and got every vehicle we could out away from shop. We’ve never flooded except for 16 and we got a out 3 1/2 foot. Don’t want to go through that again. We where fortunate our home didn’t get it, we where one of the very few, it was pitiful.

    Welp, praise the good Lord above for a pocket of dry air that came down and held majority of the rain offshore. We went from a projected 3 day rainfall of 20+ inches to now 2-4 and a projected river stage of 21 foot to its still at 0.62, instead of around 10 they projected it would be at ya this point. They still have it projected at 19.5, I ain’t a real smart fella, but I ain’t seeing 2-4 inches all the way above us doing much to the river. Guess they hate to be wrong lol.

    The media tried to make this into a major disaster. I watched some of the coverage and it was eye rolling. You would think these people have never see wind above 15 mph before.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it didn't cause massive flooding. It's just the media comes down here and acts like it's the end of Louisiana. I actually heard one news persons that was down in Grand Isle, on the shoreline, say, This is the only real beach on the Louisiana coast. I was like WTF, come on over to Holly Beach you numb nuts; the place Hurricane Rita hit. Plenty of sand on the coastline of SW La. but I forget we aren't part of the REAL Louisiana.

    Yeah you right. This thing turned out to be no more than typical Louisiana weather, other than the storm surges near the gulf. They tried to make ya think the levee that topped was the main one on the Mississippi, when it was a lower backwater one. They would go stand on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain and make big deal about the water coming over the shore

    Ya mean none of the media guys were standing in a ditch like they did last time?

    I saw where some liberal politician from Cali was blaming it on "global warming".

    So far I have gotten 3". They are saying 4-8.
