Governor John Bel Edwards today announced that the federal government declared a major disaster for the State of Louisiana. Following a tour of several parishes, Governor Edwards requested that President Barack Obama make the declaration. The initial federal declaration is for Bossier, Claiborne, Grant, Morehouse, Ouachita, Richland, and Webster Parishes. Additional parish declarations may be made as further damage assessments are conducted.

Flooding again. Until I clicked the link, I thought it might have been from Democratic administration of Louisiana.
St. Tammany Parish really got hit hard.
Wow, just a couple weeks ago it was sunny in Louisiana, and now this. How can you deny that the climate didn’t just change in Louisiana? Here in Maine, just a few hours ago, it was 7 degrees warmer, and now it’s dark out. This is probably a result of Global Spin because of over population on one side of Guam, or maybe the sun is sad because of racism.
At some point, states need to stop asking for federal disaster relief as a first response. It only serves to make them dependent on the federal government.

Coon-a**es can take care of ourselves.
Exactly what I was thinking as I read this. It truly is feeding the monster.

Just keep rebuilding where you got creamed before.
It is like no one heard of Galveston and Houston.
I saw a post on Facebook the other day that said Louisiana votes Trump. The next day it started raining. A few days later we are flooded out. Coincidence? I think not.

Prayers up for anyone in the path of that water!
I’m looking to see how big an area is affected; I hope the DuckDynasty folks and everyone got out OK!
(Karl rove’s weather machine? Obots messing with stuff?/tinfoil hat)
LOL.
It’s a very big area. They live in West Monroe which had its share of flooding. One of the crew at Duck Commander headquarters posted this video

They also have some pics on the Duck Commander FB page

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Govt. funds should only be used for reestablishing a life in a non flood plain type area, or elevated on sturdy pilings.
As soon as John Bel Edwards was elected we knew that taxes were gonna be raised.
It is a swamp
So were the waters, apparently.
