flood

I waded out into the flood in Old Mandeville yesterday. This is taken from Gerard Street in Mandeville, about a block from Lake Ponchartrain... Despite the wild surf on the lake, the floodwaters on the Mandeville city streets were calm, and folks took to them in various modes of transportation:



Everyone seemed very calm.



There were lots of enormous grasshoppers too:

That first one is damn scary.

I assume you've been told about manhole covers floating away, etc... Were you on foot?

Yeah... I was walking, very carefully...

I rolled up my pants and waded into the flood. I seem to have avoided catching anything nasty from the water. (-:

One of the neighbors was telling me about when the water of lake pontchartrain was clear!

(I asked what happened?? and she said people!)
