Pray for the winds to blow those rain clouds our way. Our cracks in the ground are getting dangerously wide here. Ponds are drying up and fish need water.
Said a short prayer for you PS.

Hope the best for you PS. I used to have to worry like that and accepted it as a way of life but 5 years ago I moved 40 miles north up on the hill and we pray for rain daily. Good luck to you.
Well, just looking at the radar the rain may be over...water in the ditch is falling......just gotta wait and look out for backwater....last time (1990) this happened when the local rivers filled up, the water ran backwards in the ditch and into the backyard....we will not be safe till the end of next week.....thanks guys for all the Prayers, offers of help and phone calls...we will be OK whatever....
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.

I'll try again with the graph.

Praying for all who are affected by the flooding. Be careful!
Thanks George. I posted to Randy's thread.
Prayers are with all families involved. Stay safe.
Prayer sent for all of those affected.
I think we dodged a bullet and will be OK.....water fell about 8 feet and is still falling very slowly just inching along....I don't think any backwater will push it up high enough to get us.....we have been Blessed....water is coming up around Didi's son's house in Manchac Harbor off Hwy 42 from Bayou Manchac...he is waiting it out to determine if he has to get out....Prayers need to continue for him and Danny's daughter....a lot of local fishermen are volunteering with their boats launching off the interstate to help evacuate people stranded in their homes...I saw one video of a boat that just happened along as a car went in the water.....they jumped in and pulled a woman and her dog out just after the car went under.....they had to cut a hole in the top of the convertible.....
Woman & dog rescued...

That's the truth here as well Bruce. So many people are displaced here right now.
