Re: looks like shes gona blow
 

Hey Dale, how far north are you going? i live in Gilbert La. about 180mi. north and both the last ones missed me, but the first one tore up Vicksburg, in fact i took my generator off the front of my inclosed and lent it to friends for 2 weeks in Vickburg who was out of power.
I hope it doesn't hit land by you guys or come up as far as me, but in any case good luck and hope for the best.

Good luck man, be careful.

Anyone is welcome to leave their boats, racecars, money, etc. with me...

Hey dale get out of there I will bring you boat around the point and you can fish up here I can teach you. Good luck stay dry I will say a prayer for you and yours.
CPT.RON :cry: :cry:

GOOD LUCK and stay safe....

:(

And blow it has, it's been raining at my house since monday, probably 12" today. As i type this i've got 10/12" of water in my yard that just came up in the last 3 hrs., and the water is within 1 1/2" of going over my foundation on the lower level of my house. I've started moving things up stairs, actually 18"upper level. The 4 ft.sq. storm drain crossing the road at the cornor of my yard, can't handle the flow, and all the yards across the street are flooded, and still raining. I'm certain i have some water in my shop, a 100' behind the house, but i don't think too much. The rain just won't let up, it's up to the center hubcap on my duelly. If it keeps going i'll replacing carpet i'm sure. :(

Zip, you got a PM

I can't imagine...my parents got several feet of water in their house back in June....and that wasn't anything like a Hurricane they lost not everything but most of it and we are still doing repairs to their house.... Good luck ZIP and everyone else. stay safe. :(

Update
 

Well i got lucky, dodged the bullit, i was up all nite, and watching everything, it finally stoped raining about noon today and the water is reciding. the water came within 1" of comming into the house Whew!!! but it didn't. I still have 4 to 6" of water in the yard and i haven't been out to the shop yet( no wadders in the house. But when it got light enough to see this morning i could still see 3 to 4' of the foundation at bottom of the shop walls. It's higher by about 8" than the lowest level of the house, so i think i got lucky there. I still can't see the 4ft sq. culvert at the cornor of my yard, but the water is going thru it. The whole yard looks like a trout stream heading to that culvert. To say i was concerned is an under statement, since i had my rental property flood 2 times this spring up in Miss. costing me well over $5,000.00 to fix and no flood insurance, because it's in a flood zone. Some of you know SS doesn't pay that much, so it's put a serious damper on my racing this yr. But i shall return :twisted: i didn't get this old by not being a fighter. :lol:

RUN
 

Hey Guys. Got the hotrod out Friday nite, blew a front tire on the dually, good start. Went to Franklinton and returned Sat to get the big truck which We stayed in. Got back home Thursday and finally got power back about 12 30 this morning. Only damage here was my new 20 X24 carport went for a ride. No water this time even though We had a 250 ft levee breech right up the road. I watched the army heliocopters drop sand bags for days, They are the real deal. Im going to leave everything up north while We wait to see what IKE is up to. Thanks for all concerned and good luck Dale and Zip.TC

Re: RUN
 

Good to hear from ya last night !! I was wondering if all was well .. not to much damage so thats the good news !!

Yep TC, i'm glad everything worked out for you, i'm sure you already know Baton Rouge is a mess, with still close to a 1/2 mil people out of power, it's mess up here where i live 40 mi. southeast of Monroe, lot's of flooding I barely dodged the bullit but lot's of friends didn't. For us it was/is a lot worse than Katrina, but i know that's not the case by you. We can only hope that IKE, tones it's act down before it hits the coast. I personally have see more than my share of water this yr.
