A friend was not as fortunate, she and her son has water to the roofs and as of yesterday was not able to return to check on the damage. All furnishings will be lost plus pictures, etc, really sad.

Your friend and son are safe, yet the memories they lost are irreplaceable. Yes, their lives are most important yet they lost their past.

Thanks for your concern, good people are suffering.

I am so sorry for your friend. Give her a hug for me. I wish I could do more.

They will be safely on the cloud...

That's a lot lot lot of rain!

The big lake holds 39 -42 trillion gallons depending on the gate settings controlling the upper 6 feet or so. Enough water in the lake to cover California in 14+ inches - that's the whole state. If the weatherman's (or person's) number is correct, enough rain fell in Louisiana to cover all of California in about 2 inches. Wow!

Some water. Not that much but some.
