Prayers sent for every one of you effected by this disastrous storm.
Also, prayers go out to my fellow delta rats, watermen and waterfowl hunters that risk their lives rescuing complete strangers stranded in the flood zones and hard to reach areas of the coast. There is nobody more well-equipped and use to navigating treacherous, debris filled swollen waterways than my brothers in their little green backwater surface drive mud and air boats.
God Bless The Cajun NAVY, nothing can stop us, do us proud, brothers.

If I were closer, I'd be right there with them. I was born and raised running the CA Delta. And have many years of running mud boats in raging flood water, chasing ducks and geese. I own a 1850 custom made Prodrive boat that was made by Warren Coco, back when he was making boats for Pek and KP of ProDrive. It has a 36 Brigg's that has all the stage 4 mod's you can do to these engines along with custom prop's for every occasion. I've been running mud boats on the delta chasing waterfowl for many, many years now. I wish I was closer, my boat can get into places that many other mud boats couldn't even think about getting into.^^^^Yep. I know people that volunteer for that organization. And both my brother an I were out rescuing during the flood of 2016. Last I heard, The first wave of search and rescue professionals left early and a large contengent of support personel and volunteers were on their way to Florida with a caravan of boats, pots and supplies.....

Yep, plenty of wind and rain here now, but not nearly what Florida got hit with. Currently winds are steady at about 35-40 MPH with gusts to 50+...This thing isn't over.
After pummeling my brother in law, it's now headed for us here in South Carolina.
