I hope all is well with Ham N Egz. Has anyone heard from him?
 

Hello William, thank you for the query. as I am well and dry, albeit my yard is now know as lake Ham! The garage got water in it, but it always does during a heavy rain.

I am disturbed by the pictures and videos I see of the damage around us, and reading in the paper this morning how people are waiving away the rescuers . I can understand not wanting to leave a life long house, especially with NO flood insurance. I know a lady off 445 who is trapped by road closures and scared to death, a retired co worker lives off Thibadoux Road and I heard that area was flooded.I am sure your sisters place is wet, hope they are OK.
 
It the second time in my life I was the bridge at Albany covered with water and closed, Old BR Highway was closed by the river there (it always goes under water since its low there)
 
So I am assuming the pontoons on your van were securely lashed and your floating now?

It's bad. The store at the campground is underwater and my sister's house which is 9 ft. off the ground has 2 ft. of water in the living room. I've never seen anything like this since she moved here in 94'.

I will keep them and you in my prayers and thoughts Bill
 

Same here Bill.

 
 
Flood

 

I can not watch the video. It is so incredibly sad 

The water got up to 25.52 ft. highest on record

Staying ABOVE the water is the important thing!

the rivers are rising not going down
 
places that NEVER thought about water are now devastated , people going bck to homes are still flooded

TOO MUCH EXPANSION and CONSTRUCTION no places to drain off it was fallow land years ago, water ran off
 
the price of civilization?
