    But yeah, people on the internet will be dipshits. I've been getting flood updates/locations on the LSU sports forum where guys are posting what is flooded and what isn't, where the water is rising and not. Pretty inofrmative place.

    Water literally fell in Baton Rouge or those parishes adjacent to it. Baton Rouge got over a half years worth of rain in two days. 30+ inches of rain. The parish adjacent to Baton Rouge on the east side that Sorce lives in said tonight that 75% of the parish was a write off.

    A lot of people have it, but like you said lots of people are out of the 100 year flood zones by a good bit. Rivers credting higher than ever. I think they said 11 different rivers hit all time highs at the same time. The one river not up is the MS river but water in Baton Rouge doesn't drain...

    Just hope it doesn't turn out like Katrina afterwards. When people redid their homes the only drywall they could get wound up being chinese drywall. Totally ate the copper plumbing, heathing, AC and other stuff in the homes shortly after. Giant class action suit was eventually settled. People...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I'm useless as tits on a boar hog. Everyone is flooded 45 minutes away and I have multiple boats with shallow drive motor, kayak, acess to a 2-1/2 ton truck and I can't do anything due to lack of energy and getting short of breath. Sucks.

    Water back to "normral" in the pool for womens synchronized swimming after they drained it out and pumped in more. Any bets it will change color again after the IOC said "chemistry isn't an exact science". They actually said that.

    I use the cheapest stuff wal-mart has and it's accurate enough for me. Reli-on prime. It's $9.99/50 strips plus $9 for the meter or some such. I've never had any luck testing it anywhere but my fingers, but I only check it about 4 times a day.
