Give the guy a break. At times like this, it's better to be overly cautious than pie in the sky.

Going to listen to the scanner:

We learned where the water was rising last night by listening to it, so perhaps we will learn tonight.

I understand a swamp is low, water migrates there and during a flood it fills up, but it had already taken over a foot of rain so it wasn't empty.

Plus all this is calculated in advance when the modelers make their predictions

I think he means it is a false sense of security. The swamp won't dump into the bayou but it won't hide the true rate of back flooding and the water will shoot up




Basically this... people see their locations barely budging when the true rate of input is being sent into the swamp.

Don't let the downers detract you. You've done a great job with what information you have available to you. Now let's hope you're not a rebloke alter ;)

Seconded. You have given more detailed information than anything the experts have provided. The media has been behind the flooding for the most part. Not ahead of it like you have.
