Are we going to see a hurricane in a couple days?

[dantheman]

Seems to have quieted down here in Northern EBR Parish . Still raining . A lot of trees and limbs down and power outages .
As I type this I heard a big gust of wind . I guess she ain't quite done .

More like a Dumbash. Just watch & let somebody else jump in to help.

Miles is the dude that saved the person in the truck. He lives near by, saw it on the news, and walked out to help. The video is clipped to only show the saving part. I watched it live. Cop was parked in the lane leading to the underpass, man in truck goes in the WRONG lane of traffic and slowly drives his way into the water (I'm talking crawl). The news person has no idea what's going on, he's like what is this truck doing, OMG it's going in the water, and he runs to the cop car and tells the cop. Cop doesn't go help. They continue to film, talk about this is why you shouldn't be out in the road. They still wonder what's going on with the cop not leaving the car. Car slowly drifts deeper and deeper, news guy mentions the cop probably can't go in unless the conditions are safe for them also! then Miles comes out of no where.

my neighbors tree branch is partially broken and hitting the column of my back patio. should I leave it and deal with it in the morning or take cut it now b/c it can cause damage?

Now I understand. Sorry. The news guy & the cop suck.
I remember a news crew was at Tulane & Carrollton when an old lady drove around a NOPD cop. She was floating in the water that filled the Carrollton underpass. The Cop wadded to the car & carried the old lady out of the water without blinking an eye. He received an award for saving her life. Mile should get an award too.

He's also humble, news guy stopped him after the rescue, and he just said my name is miles, I'm an ER nurse and saving people is just what we do. and walked off. Come to find out he cut his hand/finger saving the guy, so went home to wrap it up. News guy 30 minutes later showed up on his door step to talk to him.

Lakeview/Gentilly is windy and still without power.

Lost my home Internet . Power blipped 3x but never failed. Rain and wind done. Posting on my phone, yikes.

6 inch rain total at my house. It's all over

 

[Bolt Head]

I'll go inspect everything outside once the sun comes up but so far it was just a rainy night here.

I lost power about 2000 hrs. Started the generator. Sitting in the AC watching TV right now.

I lost a hibiscus tree that survived every hurricane since I move into this house, including Katrina.

Other than the hibiscus tragedy, all is well. Sipping coffee and watching the weather weasels.

We had a bit over 10" of rain, here, according to my gauge.

 

[Gator 45/70]

Somebody had to do it. The tv news idiot was just going to talk about it and watch him die ...

I had a hard time understanding the language he was using?

 

[SVT Bansheeman]

No power for 12ish hours now (central Lafourche). We are perfectly fine.

North Lafourche/Chackbay got a ton of rain and flooded very bad in some areas and many have water in their homes. Some family's had to be rescued due to rising water late yesterday.

 

[Magdump]

My power failed at about 4pm yesterday when a transformer blew. Here on the outskirts of Hammond it bees that way. Threw in two window units and was watching New Orleans TV by 7 after I relished in the last of the hot water. Ate a fat rib eye chargrilled to perfection. Slept like a baby to the hum of the Generac and the window unit.
Don’t even look like I have any cleanup to do today. Just waiting on Entergy to come fix this line. They should be embarrassed.
Mark another one in the book.

My neighbors tree branch snapped and is dangling on my rear patio, besides that, nothing much. Trash came by at 7am this morning to pick up our garbage. All the neighbors hearing the truck ran out to put out their cans all at the same time. Many of which didn't pull it out on time.

Found two casualties. A guppy and Molly died last night in my fish tank. Found them in the corner this morning.

I would honor their sacrifice by going catch some catfish with them.

Too soon?

 

[hotbiggun]

Sucks for you guys who lost power.

That’s odd that they would spontaneously die during a hurricane. A little too convenient if you ask me. I’d even say that it sounds a bit fishy.
