15 miles east of Monroe? That would be around Rayville area then. You’d know where Bastrop is, I lived there through 90% of obama. Did a couple of remodeling jobs around the Rayville area. Judging by the radar thing above, you’ll be getting a little rain but shouldn’t be too bad. Rayville is where I’d always stop for coffee coming back from the boats in Vicksburg.

I still have family around there, born in Bastrop, great grandparents born there. Mostly scattered now, but some of them still right there. Had relatives laid off when the paper mill closed. (thanks nafta...)

We got a long drizzle yesterday, clearing up with a light wind now, 10-15 mph or so, east texas.

LOL Between Oak Ridge and Girard just south of Lake Irwin! Much family in the Rayville area (Mom is an alumni of RHS). Raised south of Dunn, graduated Delhi HS. Moved home when I retired. 7+ inches of rain, road flooding, but not too much wind, thank goodness. Still cleaning up from Laura which came over me as a cat-1. This was chump change. Still praying for friends and family in SW LA and waiting to hear from them. Hope all is good with you

BTW, A whole lot of folks from the paper mill in Bastrop got jobs at the sweet potato processing plant built at Dunn. Think Alexa Sweet Potato Fries!
