I don’t think that’s how hunkering down works
We really doing this? Ok then I’ll play your childish games.

to hide, hide out, or take shelter, often for just a few hours or less, as from a pursuer or a storm:
Runaways hunkered down in all sorts of places along the Underground Railroad.
Rain pelted our boat through the night, but we were able to hunker down in a small harbor until daybreak.
Considering the rooftop becomes the only remaining safe place from the storm, it does indeed appear that’s how it works.
But you do you bro. Carry on with yo bad self

All my family evacuated, but see multiple people on the street they live on asking for help in that thread. So I'm guessing their homes are underwater also.

If you know where someone is call them. 985-687-4504

Doesn't that area hold alot of water anyway? That exit gets closed because it's a foot deep in the intersection and gets deeper as you go south. The high water a couple months ago had it closed.

Holy shite. Sickening to know that’s happening right now as we read this thread. God Bless them.

From your link:
quote:
to settle in to the safety of one’s home or other designated shelter for a potentially prolonged time, as would be necessitated by a natural disaster or an outbreak of a contagious disease:
IN to one’s home. Not on top of it. Once you’re on the roof, the act of hunkering has ceased and your sorry no-evacuating arse is in rescue-me mode.

I Think a few inches to a couple feet isn’t super rare, this type of flooding is.

Does anyone know if airline Hwy is flooded in Laplace?

It was, but it doesn’t make it any less sad to watch people suffer like this. Too many people face hurricanes with either a false bravado to show how tough they are to face it or a naïveté to believe that it just won’t happen to my part of town.
Then those people's stories should be told as amazing lessons for others to learn from their mistakes. That's part of how darwin works

Unfortunately, some people can’t afford it as well. Right, wrong, or indifferent, some people can’t afford to evacuate and roll to a hotel.
I currently have four hotel rooms full of relatives. Don't know when they will have power and ability to return home, and there is some question whether their homes are there and livable. After a few days the cost becomes significant. Post Katrina I had two hotel rooms of relatives for more than a month.

When the hurricane approaches, the wind speed pushes the water in that direction. It's why there's a levee under construction.

I saw fema is covering hotel bills. Might check into that.

It’s storm surge man. There is nothing between northern Laplace and the lakes except some marsh and swamp. No back levees.
Posted on 8/30/21 at 6:15 am to mikelbr
16 foot storm surge will do that to you.
