Hi Folks,
We didnt drown. We have never seen standing water in our street and this time we had over a foot in the house which is 4 feet higher than the street. Over 28" of rain in 36 hrs.
We lost everything but the puter and tv that was on stands and the hanging clothes in our closets. My brand new MES had a little water in it but i think it will be fine.
We are blessed as my brother and his family live in denham springs la. they escaped with one of 3 vehicles and the clothes on their backs.
Their house had water up on the roof.. 90% of the homes in Livingston parish (same as your counties) were flooded.
We live in east baton rouge parish and i think they said 68% of homes flooded here. This does not include and businesses
I am on leave of absence from work until i finish .gutting the house.
The water came up so fast that no one had time to react in any way other than to get out.
If you are of the faith based crowd , please say a prayer for Louisiana.
We will survive We are Louisiana Strong.
If you want to see how we take care of our own google ( cajun navy )
