tropical storm isaac

I hope all is well in St. T. I may have trouble getting home from work tomorrow, it may be a wet ride, The entire newscast has been about the storm. However the Gulf Buoy Data and the precipitation radar do not reflect anything near about as bad as they are saying. Schools closed Tuesday and Wednesday. And it is not a Hurricane yet. It is predicted to be a Cat 1 when it hits land.

At least you're on the good side of the storm :o

This is true. I think I can make it home dry today. This town is freaking out. There are no gas cans, and no gas at many stations.

Same here plus no ice. Looks like you may be on the bad side now too :|

If I have to be on the bad side of a storm, this is the one I would choose.

Craig I already commented on your FB page but anyway to all in that area, may your Gods go with you.

Thanks Howie, I do not know about being on the wrong side, but it seems like we are both on the LONG side of it.

I do remember the one and only (so far) we had in the UK, either 85 or 87 and the "thing" in bed beside me wondering why my car alarm hadn't gone off? I said "don't worry, it's probably in the next county by now".

I just saw on the news that the Tchefuncte river has 11 feet of water in Madisonville. Just checking on you.

We did just fine here. Got a LOT of rain, rivers are swollen. The bridge at the end of my road was underwater last night. It is now passable but still closed off. I have never seen it underwater before. It usually gets close to the bridge a day after a storm. Even if it swells more, I am fine. Electricity off in a Lot Of Baton Rouge. My store had no electricity. Alarm battery was still good when I went this morning. My Dad is in Pearl River and he just got his power back on. Going to buy fuses for his Air Conditioner. He has dead batteries in his meters. He is hoping that the fuses are blown.

Has anybody talked to our Administrator? DYohn, or anybody?

IAAI, the Tchefuncte River came up to the second step of our stoop. One of our friends picked us up in a pontoon boat at our front door. Our neighbors' houses flooded. We were lucky, no water in the house, only the shed. Got power back yesterday. Only one of our cars got water in it after we moved them to higher ground. Not a pretty sight in Madinsonville, but everyone is safe, though we did lose a friend to a heart attack the night of the storm. I'm still cleaning and playing catch up. Will post some photos soon. How did you make out?

Sorry to hear about your friend, and glad your were as lucky as you were. I never lost power, lost no trees or limbs. The river at the end of my road did swell and overtop the bridge. I have never seen water go over that bridge. I am about 5 feet above that bridge. So no flooding either.   We did lose power at one of our stores till Saturday morning. I had Wed, Thu, and Friday off. I knew about Madisonville, I heard they had 5 feet of water in the town hall building. George B. posted earlier that they lost a bridge that was just rebuilt since Katrina. The bridge is not the one over the Tchefuncte, it is the bridge over the T's river. At the lake.

I am glad I thought you were still in Mande, I would have been even more worried had I known you moved.
