Did I say Tropical Storm Isaac had passed over us? Another storm band came through
with winds and more rain. Upper Lafourche (that is us) is still under a
tropical storm warning and flash flood watch.
Areas in New Orleans and Jefferson are flooded, but the new levees
held. Neighborhoods in Slidell and LaPlace are flooded, and communities north of
Lake Pontchartrain are threatened by a dam on Lake Tangipahoa that is in
danger of breaking. Isaac has and will cause much devastation.
WWL-TV's website has good information, but I have difficulty navigating
the site because of a slow internet connection.
Sorry about all the misinformation, which is probably due, in part, to wishful thinking.

Still hanging out here with you and prayers continue to ascend for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad ya'll are okay.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bonnie and Elizabeth. We really are fine, and I think the damned storm is finally gone, but for gradually diminishing rain until Saturday. Please pray for all the people who are not all right, my friends.
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear you're fine, but so many places got hit that really did not need it, especially after the last nasty Katrina.
ReplyDeleteNo, Isaac is not nearly as bad as Katrina, but my heart goes out to the folks whose homes flooded or were otherwise damaged. Thank goodness the levees in New Orleans held.
