[quote]Streets were flooded 12-14", thankfully no water in the house[/quote]
That is why you never purchase a house that is lower than the street especially in southeast Louisiana.
If you give yourself at least 2 feet off the ground and a foot of freeboard your chances of flooding are almost n...

Damn...That was my dream job.

re: What are your thoughts on St. George?

If Baton Rouge was smart, when they floated consolidation they should have covered the entire parish, like Orleans.
That way the issue could have never come up, now it is too late to put the genie back in the bottle, and it may be time to dissolve the office of Mayor-President and have two separa...

People are dumb if they think a half a cup of water (1/2), is less than a quarter cup of water (1/4).
On a side note McDonald’s small patties that are used on small burgers and Big Macs are 10:1. So it takes 10 of them to make one pound. So a Big Mac tha...

Fun fact, those big data centers will rely on diesel or natural gas generators if the main power goes out.
All should even have large cells of lead acid batteries to handle the load until the generators come on line in about 20 seconds.
Some places may even have a second power source on the ma...
