If you read comment #5, it basically says what they say.

4. Wow, that's hurricane rain

when one of them comes ashore and parks.

Ken Ham built that monstrosity of his in the wrong place. You guys in LA could use an ark just about now.

10. Nah, his aim is notoriously bad

You know, sending tornadoes to Oklahoma to punish all those drag queens in San Francisco.

5. It's been crazy

This is the result of a low depression in the gulf that when it came ashore got caught by the jet stream and held in place. Essentially this could have most likely started tropical storm development had it stayed out in the gulf longer. This is our tropical weather season here in Louisiana though. It normally seams we get all of our worst weather between mid August and September.

Now the amount of rain this storm dropped in a short amount of time is just simply staggering. The sudden river rise in a short amount of time nobody predicted.

The latest estimate is 20,000 people have had to be rescued from there homes in the past few days. There have been people getting pulled off roofes and from attics. This whole thing has been like Katrina 2.0 Very large parts of Baton Rouge and Denham Springs are underwater. In fact most of Livingston parish is inundated with water. About 60% of the people I know have had there homes flooded. I spent 16 hour helping rescue people by boat on Saturday that were stranded in there homes. It's been truly amazing the amount of people comming together to help each other. As I left Baton Rouge to go home there was a steady stream of people with boats and other equipment to come aid people. The only word I can use to describe all of this is crazy. It's been a very emotional couple of days.
