Just came back from a community meeting to discuss the impending crisis on the river. Boy, that stuff is scary. Don't know what to think, because no one knows for sure what will happen. Lots of "what could" happen, but, do we leave? Stay? I do have all the important papers in a box by the door. And we have flood insurance, and I figure if we leave I'm taking all my sewing machines, and quilting stuff, and the rest can take care of itself. Do you think my priorities are a little upside down? Most of the grandchildren pictures are on the computer (I guess we would take that too) and everything else can be replaced. We could probably live without half of what we have.

You'd think they could partially open the Morganza to stop this wall of water hitting Baton Rouge, the LSU campus, then the oil refineries and then New Orleans.
Sure hope those levy's hold........

We are up stream from BR and NO. However we could get back water which is just as bad. Our property has not gone under since 1927. But watch on the news.....I'll be the old lady with her sewing machine under her arm being hauled off her roof by aircraft:) The Ouachita river is in our front yard and it is rising.
