Thankfully, us at JP Oil are on the third floor. (We learned that from being on the first floor in 1993 when the building flooded last time). Lofton and others weren't as lucky. Water is out of the building now and Tolson is scrubbing the first floor as we speak. Should be able to go to work by tomorrow.
I know the majority of you are looking at the Acadiana area. I'm in BR, and it's jacked up over here. One UL alum's house is flooded. I'm lucky. My house is dry. A lot of friends and coworkers are flooded. So far, it appears everyone I know is safe. That's the important thing. But the water damage is unimaginable.
Probably will be the most damage ever in the state for a non-named storm system. In Lafayette we have already surpassed the average yearly rainfall amount with 4 1/2 months to go.
I'm thankful to be dry but know so many who haven't been as fortunate.
Are there any closures of I-10 east of Lafayette. I have a friend coming in from Birmingham, Al. and he was asking me for the best route to come home. I told him that I-12 is still closed but he could stay on I-10 through New Orleans. But I am not sure of any part of I-10 being closed. Anyone know?
On another note,be prepared when we aren't in the Tigue by the time conference play starts and Farmer is blaming this flood

A flood-damaged home requires special attention to avoid further damage and health hazards from molds, other fungi, algae and bacteria.
