At least six people have died in the disaster. Gov. John Bel Edwards said that 40,000 businesses and homes are without power and that rescue workers are still "bringing people out of homes to safety," particularly in the hardest-hit areas around Baton Rouge. More than 500 pets have also been rescued, according to authorities. More than 30 inches of rain fell in southern Louisiana over the past week, causing waterways to surge, Manzo said. The biggest amount was in Watson, which was deluged with 31.4 inches of rain, according to the National Weather Service.

I am thinking of our flood, I am thinking of the state-wide West Virginia floods last month, and I am thinking of this Louisiana flood. Someone I'm FB friends with shared a post written by someone living down there, rebuking the news media for sensationalism reporting and neglecting to tell the stories of residents helping each other. (He proceeded to list a bunch of specifics.) I wish we all could focus on and share more of these stories. That's not to say I'm against people posting political stuff - after all, I do it too. But it would be nice if there could be more "bringing us together" stories. There's way too much division going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen flooding like that in all my decades in this state. The governor called a state of emergency. Obama administration denied funding it. My state is still being punished by the feds for john mccain running against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb, I haven't seen these stories, even on my facebook feed....  I've looked for them but no one I have found is mentioning them.... I heard Donald talking about how the people were helping each other but not a lot of stories that I assumed would be happening.

Nice stories dont sell papers or ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
