re: Amite river forecasts to crest at 39' . Almost lost my truck today

Glad you are ok.

Last time I remember the river being that high was 82 or 83.
I remember my mother coming to live with me in Los Angeles while her home was being redone.

4x4 2013 Tundra with goodrich At's got stuck as well. shite, a cool dude with a jacked up F150 with some aggressive mud tires almost got stuck trying to pull me out. Mud was nasty back there.

Damn right. 4x4 f150 got Yall out. That's how this works
