ATT cell service should be back up in most of Ascension and Livingston

Ive been seeing a lot of calls for boats, even this late. I'm thinking now that service is back they're finding a lot more people waiting on help.

Also explains the number of rescues being so low mentioned earlier.

What responsibilty will ATT best for an outage at such a crucial time?

Just pulled the paperwork. I may be reading this incorrectly, so someone help me. Does this say that the bullshite mandatory insurance they make you buy WONT cover a flood?

"As a limited exception to the foregoing limitation of Owner's liability, Occupant who has not provided proof of insurance required above shall be automatically enrolled in the facility's Storage Center Protection Agreement (Plan) and as long as Occupant pays the prevailing monthly charge for such Plan, Occupant shall be entitled to the limited property damage benefits described in this subparagraph as follows: In consideration of the monthly payment for the Plan, which amount is initially set at $10.00 per month, but which may change at any time by the Owner, the Owner assumes limited liability for loss of or damage to Occupant's property stored within the Unit, up to twenty-five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) for losses solely caused by the following, which are limited by the parentheticals in each section: (i) Fire, explosion or smoke; (ii) Theft, vandalism or malicious mischief (signs of forcible entry must be visible); (iii) Roof leak or water damage (except water damage caused by loss or damage caused by flood); (iv) surface water (underground water or water that backs up through or overflows from a sewer, drain or sump is not covered); (v) Windstorm that first causes damage to the building housing the Unit; (vi) Collapse of the building where your Unit is located; (vii) Impact of aircraft, missile or vehicles. This limited assumption of liability is a limited modification to the waiver of liability stated elsewhere in the Agreement. Conflicts between the two provisions shall be resolved in favor of the Owner's limitation of liability. This Plan does not cover and Owner has no liability for loss of or damage to Occupant's stored property beyond that described in this subparagraph and the Owner will not pay for damage to Occupant's stored property caused by the following: (x) Moths, insects, rodents or vermin; (y) Mold, mildew or wet or dry rot; (z) War or military action; (aa) earthquake or volcanic eruption, including leakage from sprinkler systems caused by an earthquake or volcanic eruption (bb) Nuclear reaction, radiation or radioactive, biological or chemical contamination; (cc) Unknown or mysterious causes, and will not pay for any damage to motor vehicles, boats or other property if stored outside of the Unit; money, travelers checks, money orders, stamps, accounts, deeds, bills, or securities; jewelry, watches, precious or semi-precious stones, furs, or clothing trimmed in fur, antiques and works of art; animals; stolen goods or contraband; anything else stored outside the Unit or within the Unit if the Unit is unlocked. The exclusions in the preceding sentence prevail over the covered items. Owner will pay the lesser of the actual amount you have paid to repair the lost or damaged item(s) or to replace them with property of similar quality. In no event will Owner pay more than Twenty-five Hundred Dollars. If rent is not received within 5 days of the due date, Occupant's participation in the Plan shall terminate and Owner shall not be liable for loss of or damage to Occupant's stored property from any cause whatsoever. At Owner's sole discretion, Occupant's participation in the Plan may be reinstated upon payment of all rent and other charges due and owing. Participation in this Plan may be canceled by Occupant upon 10 days written notice to Owner. This Plan may be canceled by Owner upon 30 days written notice to Occupant. The Plan is not an insurance policy and the Owner is not an insurance company or an insurance agent. The Owner assumes this business risk in this Plan, but it may purchase insurance coverage to transfer part or all of the liability retained under the Plan."

Figures I have neither

Lake in CCL has been slowly rising all afternoon, manchac feeds into the lake when both get high

Would this be a bad time to put tl;dr given the current situation...

This can't be serious

Yeah I'm not an expert but seems pretty clear flood damage isn't covered. Unless the contract itself is somehow invalid...but otherwise it doesn't look promising

the Owner assumes limited liability for loss of or damage to Occupant's property stored within the Unit, up to twenty-five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) for losses solely caused by the following, which are limited by the parentheticals in each section: (i) Fire, explosion or smoke; (ii) Theft, vandalism or malicious mischief (signs of forcible entry must be visible); (iii) Roof leak or water damage (except water damage caused by loss or damage caused by flood);

That's fricked up.
