Hurrican Aftermath (The Flood)

Here are some images I took when I went back to the house this morning (Friday).

Our house sits elevated about 3 1/2 feet above the ground. At the moment, the water is about 1 1/2 feet from being flush with our porch. If it rises above that, it will begin to go into the house.

The pictures:


The water from the Amite river has continued to rise, and is expected to "crest" by Monday, after which it should begin to recede.




The Yellow house in the middle is our neighbor. Our house is immediately to the right (facing house).


From Hurricane Gustav

Yesterday we could drive up to the trees on the right of the photo.
We were able to walk through water (knee-deep) and get into the house to get Mia (the cat)




Through the trees, you can see the bottom of our porch on our house.
