Was there trying to get to Ochsners for an appointment for the wife....Took an hour to go the first 70 miles and 4 hours for the last 15 miles trying to find routes around the flooded areas...saw many cars trying to drive through 3’-4’ water and ending up as “lily pads”...
Had passed through about 1/2” rain showers on way and didn’t realize the true scope of what had happened and what was going on - many streets running like rivers, all underpasses flooded (and most on/off ramps for I-10 are at the level of the underpasses so once the surface streets locked up, I-10 became a parking lot.

Reminds me of the infamous May 3, 1978 flood or maybe worse. That one took me hours to get home from work.
