You know there are home weather stations you cn buy that will measure such things, right?

As usual you missed the point and the dialogue went over your head.

Martina is an idiot. If she would just stay in the kitchen and make sandwiches for her husband when he gets off the plant shift, she’s be much more valuable

I have a rain gauge in my yard. My rain gauge said 19”. Maybe it’s off. It’s all I have to go by.

Concrete canals are designed to move water quickly. They also should be easier to maintain. The hardly absorb any water, but realistically does it make much difference?
Concrete canals are great for the area that has it, but at some point that concrete canal changes to a grassy ditch. At that point, flow gets restricted and flooding occurs.

Huh? I’ve never seen that happen.
I’m not saying you’re wrong but can you provide any examples?

No one said it was.
I think you should go back and re read the conversation.

The area under bluebonnet didn’t become a lake in a matter of minutes.
How many of the drivers are sitting there watching the water rise? Most came up to it, didn’t realize how high it was and were in trouble.
The fact it wasn’t blocked last night by BRPD is crazy.

You fricking retard. You think concrete canals are poured to the gulf?
You really are one stupid mother fricker.

Look at Google maps of Wards Creek at Bluebonnet/Jefferson. West of Bluebonnet it is a concrete ditch and east it is a ditch. Friend on east side flooded due to water stacking up in low flow area.

I was just asking for examples where concrete canals changes into a grassy ditch’s.
I didn’t say you were wrong I’m honestly curious.
Of course the cooleys(sp) in Laffy and the concrete canals in NOLA drain into drainage canals into Rivers and Lakes.

I drove through this same underpass at approx. 8 pm last night after eating at nearby Louisiana Lagniappe on Perkins. It was indeed pouring at the time but there was no appreciable water there. Water must have come up very fast. Anyone know what time this supposedly occurred?

All good.
Also look at Wards Creek by Siegen. Concrete culvert for many miles and then stops and reverts to ditch at the end of Siegen Lane marketplace.
Apartment complex (which has always flooded) by old driving range flooded yet again.

Pretty apparent that someone was hit lethally and the perpetrator of the incident fled from one of the other vehicles in the quagmire

Some people it’s like beating eggs up there.

I'm sorry. I disagree.
Your windows are easily shattered outward and every car comes with a glass breaker.
Your seatbelt buckle fits in your palm perfectly to be smashed into the side window.
Can you become incapacitated? Sure.
But unless knocked unconscious, there's really no reason to drown.
