[Will"E"Fish]

One of my relatives lives in Morganza and swears to be dammed that he's going to wait it out.Fool told me he's got his 24 ft Champion tied to the second floor balcony of his home .Fool say's he gonna wait till water get's to the second level of his home then he's drive it till it run's a ground toward's the west.You'll pray for this fool please, and all those that will be affected by this tragedy which will soon un fold right here in our own backyard's.

I hope your relative is safe but I feel his pain. There is nothing worse than leaving your home......for good.

I watched my father-n-law after he lost everything to rita. It's very sad to watch somebody you love or know go through this.

W you are by far the dumbest person I have ever encountered in my life, be it real life or the internet. You have no idea what is actually going on. You dismiss a 100 year flood like nothing is going to happen. I could give a shat about what Corp report you have read over the past few days, your thinking is so off base it doesn't even warrant an arguement.

"Chances of Category 4 or 5 hurricanes hitting Gulf location are .03 percent annually." - Louisiana State University

If the chance is only .03% for the Gulf coast........then the possibility for as far inland as Baton Rouge is non-existent.

Please forward me a copy of this report from the COE on how baton rouge will flood from a Cat 5 hurricane. Will make some interesting reading when i have to exercise my recto -optic nerve.

Lol.
W is nasa's disaster management commander.

[Salty]

I remember when he posted on LAS that he had a degree in "petrolium" engineering. Something sounded out of line...even back then. At one time I actually thought he controlled the flow of oil from the Gulf.

I'm pretty sure baton rouge has adequate drainage canals and none of them go in to the mississippi, all lead east to bayou manchac or the amite river. as long as the levee holds up we don't have any worries!

[Montauk17]

Just saw on the news that they will be opening one bay of the spillway today.

[southern151]

Talked with some friends up that way this morning and yeah, they're gonna open it up today. Two guys I've worked with for years have homes directly in the path of the spillway.

That sucks man,hope they have good insurance.

[Jordan]

at 1500 (3:00pm) they will open one bay to start with, they will keep on the news whether or not another bay will be opened.

[southern151]

Worst part is, one of em is stuck on a job in ca and hasn't been able to get home! Talking with his dad this morning, he said he was goin to start moving his stuff for him. So far, none have called back on the offer to help em so, I guess they have it under control...

I was raised in a small town "Mansura" about 30 miles North of the spillawy. Passed on that structiure many times. I hope that opening the spillway , it will really help the high water situation.

I grew up in Bordelonville and I wasen't born yet but my mom said when they opened the gates in 1973 they flooded there. They lived on the levee there that supports the bayou.
