Sandbags in Hammond at the parish barn on Pleasant Ridge. 15 bags per address. There's a long line but might be worth the wait for some of y'all. It's pouring in that area right now.

Stop up your drains and preemptively flood your house from the inside or you could always burn it to the ground

I'm in Zachary. It's pretty bad here. Got a bit of water in my house and have been fighting a losing battle with a shop vac and a small pump all morning. Think I've got things to a manageable level now.

Appreciate it, but there's not much to be done. Lift a little furniture and drink a little beer.

frick that, it was over $100 a month. I'll buy a new house before I pay that for flood insurance in a shitty neighborhood that is "above the flood plane".
