That stream is about six miles from your brothers, and I think the area around your brothers' place is drained through other streams that flow into Bayou Manchac. The nearest monitoring location that I can find is Bayou Manchac near Little Prairie. I think I've actually kayaked past this station, but it doesn't appear to be working now. The downstream stations on the Amite River are showing levels that aren't too bad right now. I'm not a hydrologist, but I'd assume that things are still draining well at your brothers' place.
Now that sounds scary. Even the crickets know when to bug out.

Hey you can come on over to my house we are having coffee, unsweetened tea, Texas Toast, Carameled apples and Lima Beans.
LOL. :)
Seriously, though, after reading this thread all day, I am worried that she's going to rest for quite a while once she makes landfall. :(
Hey Bear can you get on storm2k? Did it crash?
So did anyone happen to see on Anderson Cooper: one of their reporters is in a wind tunnel in Virginia. They crank the machine up to 111 mph (Cat 3 level) to show the effects on the human body. Pretty cool - skin flapping back, reporter can't talk.
Go to ACL Fest tonight, enjoy the nice eveneing!
Just saw on Fox that some people are pulling guns on the gas trucks delivering gas to stranded motorists.
I always notice - and, uh, with backhoe's help --- I cleaned my cache.
May I have my supper now?
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks. :)
Can we put Shep in one of those wind tunnels???
now 50,000 customers without power....
Very worrisome. I don't think there's anywhere in Nederland that's over 13 ft, but there's not much we can do about it. I'm more than willing to help in any way. I just hope this isn't some sick person who signed up just to get people worried.
We just heard a loud boom. Not sure if it was thunder or a transformer.
I have all my bases covered: I'm hunkered down with an electrician, a mental health counselor, and a priest. :-)
Sounds like a dream come true...reporters unable to speak.
Will do.
Psycho is going to be a basket case too,she's in lying on the bed.
No.
I've seen/warned truckers about brake fires, and agree it might have been a brake fire.
If so, then how could the driver be outside changing the tire - if the tire/brake assy were on fire.
More likely, there WAS a brake fire that blew out the tires/casued the flat. The bus stopped, and WHILE the outside tire (after the fire was out, but the axle/hub was damaged) was being changed, somebody INSIDE lit up.
Fire outside wouldn't otherwise have taken that long to get inside: it would have started/ignited/burned VERY brightly as soon as the bus stopped.
Hopefully this is just another urban legend.
Whatever happened to the "rumor control board" - or am I the only one old enough to remember that?
