It's official: Pub's lose the Holy Vote

(God doesn't like you!)​

Actually Isaac passed up the RNC to hit the city of sin instead.

Is reporting that a levee has been overtopped and some homes flooded in Plaqqeman Parrish. How said.

I know ... My brother lives very close to this area . He stayed. I am worried about him. No one can get in touch with him..

I hope you hear good news soon, Lovebear.

God, some people want to politicize everything!! Absolutely disgusting.

People are in trouble, they were told a Cat 1 was not big deal. There were no mandatory evacuations, people chose to stay because they didn't think it would be anything like Katrina. I wish they hadn't but what's done is done, now let's see how we might be able to help them.

Sending prayers to everyone there and those that have family there.

Hey did you evacuate? Just wondering because looks like you've still got power.

Nope. I live in a well protected area... 20 ft levees and all. Still have power, cable & Internet (obviously). Power surge last night apparently fried my A/C however. That sucks. good news is that with all the bad weather, it is in the 70's.

We live on Metairie ridge in mid-city - would have stayed if we didn't have the 2 month old. Grandpa's got a big generator so we came up to BR.

I hope you can get your AC fixed soon, as soon as the hurricane passes its going to boil.

Good luck with the rest of the storm, looks like its going to take a while to pass.

I once lived in Baton Rouge and in Gonzales. The people of Louisiana are wonderful. So is the sausage and the coffee.

and their parties...I lived in Alexandria for two years...other than the ungodly heat and humidity, Louisiana is a pretty cool state. I refer to their climate as "the armpit of the US".

I have had the weather channel on all morning and there was a report that a Parish president was helping with rescues in his own boat. Whoever he is(only caught part of the report), he'd get my vote.
