And they're not receiving the attention they deserve by the Lame Street Media.
One group who does care what happens though, is the Cajun Navy. You may have heard about them. The Cajun Navy is a group of volunteers who stepped up to help those in need when others would not. Before the soaking rains moved out of the area, the Cajun Navy was already heading out in canoes, boats, pirogues, you name it, ready to go in and rescue the helpless.
That’s the thing: the flooding was so vast that first responders just could not get to all of the cries for help. For days these citizen soldiers in The Cajun Navy have been pulling people off of roofs, out of houses, saving pets, rescuing horses in pastures inundated with water. These people know the back roads. They know the countryside. They know where to go.
And if they don’t know where to go, they set up communication on Zello and Glympse to help manage the requests for help. They helped their neighbors, they saved strangers, they checked levees.
Now they are helping distribute donations and supplies and are helping gut houses ruined by floodwaters.

I am curious about the extent of the flooding. I saw one map that indicated there were other parts of the state with flooding. But, what about eastern Texas and Mississippi? Anyone know?
