Update: Storm could bring hurricane force winds to the Gulf coast later this week

Lots of rain in N.O.; center of storm should cross west of there around Houma; typical street flooding in N.O. area;
lots of ground floor areas in homes and apartments will be tossing their carpets out in the front yard all over the place;
nothing unusual.

NO is way below sea level, right? Will probably be a category 1, at best.

But she is not jumping for joy about all the Trump voters who will die like some of the other posters. I guess they see it as their best chance to win.

I haven't seen any conservatives happy that the storm will hit New Orleans because it voted 80% for Clinton and I hope none of them are hurt.

I believe that's a 2-story building. Do you just mean that they are just getting water on the 1st floor?

Picures shared to me show first floor flooding/water to the dogs chests/up to the rescuer's knees as they're being evacuated...they're from last night...
Last update= but no more pics yet..... (@2 hours ago) Big Storm expected Saturday....
 
Just got a request from St. Landry Parish, as well...I imagine all the shelters in the area can use any help:)

It's a 'Tropical Storm'. Usually a 'fun' event, ... unless you live in a 'low area'. Houma is pretty far south and near the water. Hope they are 'high' and avoid any house flooding.
Don't mean to pry, but why would anybody move to Houma?

"Are you sure we’re in the right place?” I asked my husband as we drove past the shuttered storefronts and deserted sidewalks of Houma, La. We were at the tail end of a Gulf Coast road trip and had just arrived at the Terrebonne Parish seat, where we’d come for some Cajun culture. In Houma (pronounced Home-a), people still converse in a French incomprehensible to most Frenchmen. Cajun dance halls are full. Oysters are plucked from local waters and dumped directly onto your plate. Or so I’d heard."

With pounds and pounds of crawfish, corn, and potatoes.
 
OMG. The storm has shifted toward me a little. I think my house is turning into a trailer and my wife just informed me we are cousins. Next I'll find out I voted for Trump.

Animal shelters are usually prepared for these storms with evac plans.

They are, and they're evacuating now...but they're asking for help-they'll need it...there's going to be lots of dumped/ abandoned animals as well...

I'm guessing it hits Lafayette but most of the water ends up east of that.

It'll push a bit up the River......still it looks like a lot of rain there.

This thing isn't a 'hurricane', it's a Tropical Storm. It's going to drop a lot of water on areas that are used to having a lot of water dropped on them. No one should be surprised that if they've 'flooded' in the Past, they will flood this time.

True. It'll be a wet soggy mess for a few days, but it could have been a LOT worse.
