Louisiana has seen more than its fair share of significant events since 2005

Not an exhaustive list.. just off the top of my head...
2005 - Katrina
2005 - Rita
2008 - Gustav
2010 - Macondo (BP Spill)
2012 - Isaac flooding
2015 - Lafayette Theater Shooting
2015 - NW LA Red River Flooding
2016 - March - Northshore record flooding
2016 - March - Monroe record Flooding
2016 - BR Police Shootings
2016 - Amite (BR) and other river record flooding
We always remember the most recent events and there are probably many more that I am not recalling. However, these were and will likely be all-time historical events - at least at a regional level.

Good one! I was obviously thinking on the negative side only.

Grand Bayou/ Pierre Part sinkhole. Lots of folks lives were changed and there is-was a threat to a wider area.

2016-Alton Sterling

I would probably add the sinkhole to that list. On the positive side, a natty and a super bowl.
Plus, you could always add the daily, continual washing away of our shoreline.
Living in LA is fun but it's not easy.

Damn, when you list them all together you realize just how much has gone on.

Left out spillway flooding due to Mississippi River 100 years event twice in 6 years
Posted on 8/15/16 at 12:06 pm to NorthEndZone
I guess the record flooding on the Sabine this year affecting many in SWLA doesn't count?

Luckily only been affected by two floods. The May 8 flood in 1995 when I turned 21. I had to sleep on the 1 10 or swim home. My mom told me to stay put so I did. My brother worked for the Kenner police department, so he was able to get home and help her. Had a few inches of water in Metairie. We had to evacuate from Mandeville/Slidell in 05 for Katrina. Grandmaw lost everything had 4 feet of water in Slidell. We just had minor roof damage in Mandeville.
I think we are having more issues due to the lack of wetlands on the coast. Just my $.02.

They should have never rebuilt New Orleans

I missed that one. It was caused by the same system that dumped ridiculous rain into the Red/Sabine system.
Add the spillway events to all these, and I guess I should have just said most of the state has had a major flooding event in the past 11 years.
