Louisiana Weather 2016
Tie down the pirogue and pray the creeks don't rise cause it looks like we are going to be getting a ton of rain over the next few days. Oh how they teased us with spring for the past few days.

Re: Louisiana Weather 2016
I'm flying out of this mess from Lafayette and flying into more of this mess in Dallas. And I'm not a good flyer.
And what's a creek? We're in south LA..it's a coulee!

Re: Louisiana Weather 2016
"Crick" is a yankee term. 
I was surprised when I moved to DFW in 1995 that they called creeks essentially what we called drainage ditches in south La.

Re: Louisiana Weather 2016
Seems like a bust so far for Lafayette. LIterally had not received any rain until about 8am this morning. I'd be surprised to see us receive 2", a far cry from the initial 7"-9". I know with these systems heavy rain hot spots are hard to pick, north LA sure got hammered

Re: Louisiana Weather 2016
The local weather channel has confused me. Yesterday they said we would get around 3 inches but nothing major. Then today we apparently got nearly 3 inches in a short time and now they are saying totals may be closer to 7-10 inches. Not sure what changed their mind because the GFS is not showing those kinds of totals. Not sure which model they prefer or if they follow an in-house model.

We were spared the worst of this dangerous system. We had a good rain this morning followed by sunshine and clear skies. The wind finally subsided which I'm thankful for. Hoping everyone was as lucky.

Re: Louisiana Weather 2016
Got hit and continue getting hit pretty hard over here in ascension. With the current storms developing and moving in a few areas in the parish will reach 12" before midnight. With widespread amounts of 6-8 coming from just about everywhere. And that's just today, tomorrow could be a repeat of today, maybe worse.

Re: Louisiana Weather 2016
After record 1000 year rains this past August, all of Louisiana except 4 parishes are under a burn ban now. Crazy! Crazy!
