re: Harvey ***Catastrophic Flooding Event***

Cajun Navy just called us asking for our advice on the weather. She said they have about 200 boats on standby.

There's an actually spokesmen for the Cajun navy? That's awesome

We're getting a little break now. Got an OB on standby ready to FaceTime me through a birth if we can't get out. I'm freaking out a little.

How well does Lake Chuck take flooding? I'm hoping Cameron Parish doesn't get hit hard. I had a buddy who lost everything during Rita and even had to leave LSU to go home to help his family get back on track.

They won't take it very well. The casinos are on the lake along with the civic center area. Downtown and the area around Prien Lake Mall floods very easy.

All the development south of town is in low lying areas.

OMG

Organizations that come up from tragedy like the Cajun Navy are why Louisiana is unique. I fricking love to hear about that

Tropical Storm Harvey Discussion Number 30
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092017
400 PM CDT Sun Aug 27 2017

The unprecedented flooding rainfall event continues to unfold over a
large area of southeastern Texas. While Harvey has been moving
slowly eastward or east-southeastward today, bands of heavy rainfall
have continued to form over the northwestern Gulf and train inland
over much of the upper Texas coast and southwestern Louisiana. Storm
total rainfall amounts in the 20-27 inch range are quite common in
the Greater Houston area, and additional rainfall amounts of 15 to
25 inches are expected over the next several days. Rainfall total
could reach 50 inches in some locations, which would be historic
for that area.

Harvey is still producing tropical-storm-force winds, with a recent
observation of 34 kt with a gust to 46 kt at New Braunfels, Texas.
The NHC track guidance is in better agreement showing Harvey moving
just offshore of the Texas coast on Monday, then turning northward
and moving inland over northeastern Texas by 72 hours. All of the
global models show some slight deepening of the system after it
moves over water, but given the lack of an inner core, significant
strengthening is not anticipated. Although a tropical storm watch
has been issued, which may need to be extended eastward along
the upper Texas and southwest Louisiana coast tonight, heavy
rainfall and life-threatening flooding continue to the primary
threats.

Keep it going man, better to burn out your pump than ruin your liner. costs me 4000 dollars during the flood up here in monroe.

Wow I'd be freaking out a lot

Good luck!
