Bruce you keep the cat and Didi safe, and don't forget the boat. Our prayers are with you and all those affected by the sudden rise of water. Just an idea of how fast the water is rising. Here is a graph showing the rise in the Tangipahow River near Amite, La. It rose from 5 1/2 feet at midnight to near 30 now. Many are trapped in low areas as the rising water cut off the escape routes.
