    for those that know the area, I said 90% of Denham Springs is flooded. 80% of East Baton Rouge is flooded.

    This isn't a 'normal' flood disaster. It's unprecedented, blasting away all records levels, including the 1983 flood. Rain isn't an issue anymore, but unfortunately, water will continue to go up and flood out many more neighborhoods as it move south slowly with no where to go by over properties.

    Prayers to all affected. Reminds me a bit of that Tom Petty song off Damn The Torpedos:

    Well it was out in California by the San Diego sea
    That was when I was taken in and it left its mark on me
    Yeah she nearly drove me crazy with all those China toys
    And I know she really didn't mean a thing to any of those sailor boys

    Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
    Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street
    Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
    I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge

    South Carolina put out its arms for me
    Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely Street
    And I still can't quite remember who helped me to my feet
    Thank God for a love that followed the angel's remedy

    Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
    Running down my face, washing out the years
    Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
    I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge

    Well I never will get over this English refugee
    Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery
    Yeah he was eating pills like candy and chasing them with tea
    You should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak

    Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
    Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street
    Louisian rain is soaking through my shoes
    I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge

    Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
    Running down my face, washing out the years
    Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
    I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
