clyde jones 5751 Highway 39
Braithwaite is on the phone now he says he has 5 people and 6 dogs in his attic

he said he got a call from a deputy at 2am saying the water was coming in and in about 5 minutes it was already coming up too high from 6 feet to the roof

says he has lived here 75 years and until the wall was built around St. Bernard they never had an issue

he has a chainsaw and has cut a hole in the roof and is waiting for help

heard there was a breach in the back levee and water may have come over the river levee

said he is friends with a deputy and that is where he got his info he said he made a mistake waiting this one out

3 people next door as well

2 labs 90 pounds and a 90 pound pitbull are some of his crew

sounds like a party

Somewhat. I think there will be a TS/cat 1/cat 2 discussion post storm...as in what exactly did we have here. When watching TWC, I could sense they wanted to deviate from the NHC and go more in line with what some models were predicting... Like the GFS. But the authorities followed NHC guidance for the most part, right? Hope I'm wrong and no one is hurt or killed from thinking this was going to be a minimal storm

When the POTUS says to take it seriously, it should be taken seriously.

When he wouldn't grant full state of emergency benefits to La., I assumed he wasn't taking it seriously.

Just heard on NPR that a woman with a 5 month old was rescued from a roof in Plaquemines Parish. What is the point where we just allow Darwinism to take its path?


Grab the five month old and leave the woman up there...

They should start mandating exit hatches on the root- like T tops- for all the idiots down there.

Some child protection agency should take the kids away from these $#@(#@ers and give them a chance in life with people with IQ's over 50. Endangering babies and dogs-brilliant.
