The weather is beautiful, started in the 50's and will top out about 70, is this Louisiana in May??? I will take it no qusetions asked. Let me get you up to speed on the flooding, yes we are in a scarey period, if the leves hold we are good if they fail anyplace there will be more iles of flooded land and houses. I am dry and should be okay, I am about 50 miles from the River as the crow flies. Now we may get some back water in low areas from the back wash into the rivers that are getting dumped into, but not to worry I have a handicapped latter to the roof hahahaaaaaaaaaaa.
Now the basins will be flooded and the folks that live there knew they were in a flood plane when they built their homes there and they can not get floos insurance. It is a Louisiana thing, live , fish, boat, swim and enjoy your waterways. Most have packed up their entire home appliances included and have gone to family in a safe place, This is not the folks of Katrina, these are south Louisiana hardy folks that make their living on and in and around the water. Are you getting the picture.
We have a governor, our sweet Bobby, who has everything in place for the event. No waiting for him proactive, asked for a diaster decree 2 weeks ago, National guardis here, Red cross has 40 shelters open and maned, parishes who are not directly envolved have sent machines, equipment and manpower in the affected regions, jailed fmedical staffs are in placeolks are filling sand bags, food banks are stocking up and medical staffs are in place and ready.
Yesterday the national guard was walking around the waterway before they opened the gates and picked up bird nests with eggs to save them from drowning, what a beautiful thing.
How much can Louisiana take?? We are tough and can get up and start over as many times as it takes. Now if a Hurricanes comes before we get this water out of here I will be typing from another region.
Little Hank graduates tomorrow and he was honored for his achievements, his 4 years at LSU are paid for, gradutes with higest honors and scholarships. whoo hoo
Hugs from a really proud Grandmother.
