Not sure what forum to post this in....
Please pray for the people in Louisiana, we are enduring an epic ordeal. A lot of my fronds and relatives have lost everything they own. We are batting what they call a 500 year flood event here. It's bad. Very bad. There's places that normally wouldn't hold water here that's 6ft under water or more. People have lost their lives. It's so sad and very unexpected. This is just totally unreal. Most everyone I've talked to don't have flood insurance. If they aren't in a flood zone it's not required. I don't have flood insurance either. We had it for a while then dropped it because we thought it would never be needed. I've been lucky tho. We only had water seep into my house and get the carpet wet. We are currently pulling the carpet up and out the house. My shop is ruined tho. It was placed lower than the house and it was in two feet of water. I can't get my car to my house either. When I took off work at noon yesterday it was already flooded so much on the the road to my house that I had to leave my car at some people's house I don't know and take a boat down the road to my family waiting to pick me up down the road. Here's some pics I've taken.
This is before noon. My kids decided to get the lawn mover out of my little shed. Now you see it.....
Now you don't. When the weight was removed, the shed floated away. Take note of the bottom hinges on the door....
Later that day (or maybe the next day...it's all running together for me at this point)
I retrieved the shed when I got home
Inside it. Luckily this isn't where I work on boats at. Just where I build engines or machine parts.
This is how it was in all the bed rooms. I'm so lucky. I have to replace all the floors but o well.
