The August Flood of 2016

Had to get out only to check on family homes. At the Vermilion River and Pinhook, Outback under water, JP Oil underwater as are Fairfield Inn and Comfort Suites. Camellia st the Vermilion, If Ruffinos hasnt taken on water yet, it will shortly. Guilbeau and Congress intersection completely flooded.

Be safe. God Bless.

Some of those businesses are several feet below the roadway. Outback and the rest have a problem. How about across from Outback Zee. Any water there?

Vermillion now above 16 ft. Crest is 18.5 ft. At Surrey St, they are seeing it above 17 ft. Rotary Point, the water is up to the Pavillion.

Sorry guys, i must take some of the blame.

Have bought optional flood insurance every year I've been in my house (5 years). Decided on July 16th (exp. date) not to renew this upcoming year. Someone's trying to teach me a lesson.

Fortunately Coozan, I wouldn't have to use it as of now. But I think I found a ray of light should things change. Paperwork says there's a 30 day grace period & that if you mail in the premium certified mail, the date mailed is considered payment received. Yesterday was day 27.

Needless to say, I was at the post office yesterday afternoon with the funds.

I needed groceries, was gonna go to rouses, but heard it was closed. Called champagnes in the oil center, and they were open. Drove on st Mary from souvenir gate....not too bad. The Burger King on campus at Johnston was closed, but thats probably a good thing: being open 24/7 for so many years, it needed some cleaning, lol. Some water on campus near the library, but not bad.
