Hi kOxxx and Snapshot- glad to see there are some people familiar with my area. Hope you are making out OK with this storm snapshot.

Beanie - thanks for the welcome. The humidity isn't too bad if you are used to it. I grew up here, so I don't notice it as much as people who move or visit here.

SD - In my town we got lucky for this tropical storm. most of the bad weather just kinda skirted by us. We had some water in the street and the field behind the house is flooded, but it sits about a foot and a half lower than our lot. Some of our neighboring communities have not been so lucky. There has been some home flooding.

Everyone else, thanks for the warm welcome. I'm look'n forward to learn'n a lot here.

We had two tornado warnings yesterday but very little wind. It is still raining this morning. RV park is pretty flooded but for the most part, our travel trailer is still dry. Couple new leaks. It is supposed to move out of this area by noon! How are you faring this morning, Brandy?

Welcome to the madness!!!! Glad to have you! You need to build yourself a chicken tractor so you can get a few birds....are you guys making it through the storm okay???

SS - sorry to hear about the new leaks. hope you can get those patched up quickly. We are doing fine, though I haven't checked my big garden yet. I'm afraid to go out there and look at it. Will have to do it though. We did fine. We live in upper St. Bernard inside levee protection. I'll journal about the garden after I check it.

lorihadams - wish I had the room for a chicken tractor. I have a very tiny back yard. There is room for a small coop behind the garage, but I'd like to let my chickens roam the yard and I have two dogs with a high prey drive so there would be this constant thing of putting the chickens up every time the dogs need to go out and then watching the dogs while they are out there. Besides, I think I am only allowed to have 5 chickens where I live. I'd like to have a lot more than that. Hopefully one day we will have a little piece of land so I can have an area just for the chickens. That's ma dream!

Howdy neighbor! Hope you didn't get too much rain from lee. It was the perfect amount for my garden.

Hi Sunsaver, we got a good bit of rain, way more than my garden needed. I just finally checked "The big garden" and all of my corn is laying down. I lost one out of the 9 I had planted. I lost a tomato plant, one out of 6. and 1 out of 4 cucumber, so really that is not bad. Getting ready to go to home depot for garden stakes and if they have squash(I lost one a few weeks ago), tomato, or cucumber that are about the same size as what I have, or bigger, I may pick them up to replace what I lost. So, off I go.

I had some really large branches come down, but nothing hit the house; so, free firewood!

...We live in upper St. Bernard inside levee protection...

You have got to be kidding me. I'm an ex-Chalmation and a former Violation. Started out on Riverbend, then did my middle school years on Gallo, between JP and St.B Hwy. After getting married, lived right at Paris and Genie, behind Ponstein's. We moved up here in 2000, after retiring from Shell in Norco. It's nice to have another yat from Down in da Parish! Man, what I wouldn't do for a dozen from Randazzo's or some Gerald Burgers.
