stevegrab Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 it's going to take one of them getting brained by a piece of flying debris before they stop. sounds like they're going to get more rain than Noah. let's hope those pumps and levees hold up. most of the damage and flooding I've heard about so far seems to be outside or new orleans and the immediate suburbs. Are these reporters going out there on their own, deciding to put themselves in risky positions? Or is it their bosses, the heads of the news agencies/stations that are telling them to do it? My guess is the latter, and until it stops getting them better ratings none of them will stop. I agree it is stupid and dangerous, just don't think the reporters that are doing it are the ones to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBalla Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 The eye is just south of us...so we are getting the east side of the eye wall. The most intense winds are hammering us now and we are going on 8 hours of straight pour down rain. Amazingly, I still have electricity. I had to chalk a leak in my living room window...other than that...comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbimm Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Winds have finally died down to tolerable levels here and we are getting breaks of sunshine. Still seeing rain bands and will for the rest of the day probably. A lot of clean up to do but the city took the storm very well considering what some of the neighboring parishes are dealing with in storm surge.

SuperBalla Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Dam might break at Lake Tangipahoa, could reach Kentwood in 90 minutes. This sucker has produced more water than we have ever seen. So much flooding and a lot more to come. I heard on news yesterday that the Mississippi was actually flowing backwards because of the large surge and the angle it came in. To say this cat 1 was bad...is an understatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Apparently Isaac is not done with us. What's being described as a remnant of Isaac moved back in my area last night. We're currently flooded in and there's major localized flooding and power outages in my county. What's worse is it's moving back offshore & they are saying it may rebuild back into a tropical system.

Wow. That is one helluva storm. When it came up here it sat over us for 2 days. We got some much needed rain, but man that thing has some strength.
