re: I think most of Laplace is under water

My prayers are with all of you right now, especially those in Laplace, Lower Jefferson, and Placquemines, those seem to be the hardest hit areas so far, at least from what I have heard.
I kept telling my friends that I wish Isaac had come over here and just absolutely destroyed us rather than go to Louisiana and Mississippi. I meant it just for this very reason.
Stay safe everyone.

Apparently the east to west winds drove water from Pontchartrain over. I didn't realize how close my sister was to the lake until I looked at a map (They are in Belle Terre).
They are ok, water at garage slab level. But plenty of people were in real trouble.

985-359-8647
That's the number to call if you know anyone stranded in LaPlace. Or you can give me their names and address and I'll pass along the info.

parents in the Links subdiv. are still reporting no water in house but the pond behind their house is rising and about halfway up their backyard.

Parents in st Andrews estates, about an hour and a half ago they said the water had 18 inches or so to go before it reaches the house, and their house is a little higher than most

St Andrews is right by my mom. Heard from them? I can't get through the last few hours.

Had zero issues with Katrina or Gustav with regards to flooding. This was not expected.

Havent heard from them in over 2 hours...last I heard the water still had 18 inches to go before it reached the door
But I know the water is expected to keep rising for the next couple hours

where is this water coming from?
Posted on 8/29/12 at 8:29 pm to ThePoo
I am off of St. Andrews near Doral/Augusta. We had no issues with any water until a few hours ago. shite is coming up fast. I moved my family and valuables to the upstairs bedrooms. Moved the generator to our balcony for lights and such. I have a bad feeling that we're going to get water on the first floor and vehicles in the driveway.

As if Katrina wasn't bad enough, just imagine if it had taken the track into LA that Isaac did. Extremely frightening

I will update if I hear something. But I am not hearing anything at all. Just unreal flooding. Everywhere. Riverlands was never supposed to flood unless we got the "one".
Posted on 8/29/12 at 8:41 pm to Meatloaf
Hopefully the wind out the south will move some of that water out of there. I know it's too late for many places, but with all the rain they need to get as much water out as possible.
Posted on 8/29/12 at 8:41 pm to Meatloaf
I am just worried about my dogs...I know the flood water won't reach them because the water would have to rise about another 12 or so feet to even reach the 2nd floor
But I don't want them to be stranded there for too long

im sorry to hear about your entire week Meat
