Heavy rains
This morning the rain is really coming down and it has been coming down for a couple of hours now. Lots of lightning, I can’t get the dog to come out from under the bed. The riverside of Prytania street is filling up with water. I just saw a number of my neighbors moving their cars from that side of the street to prevent them from taking on water. It has started to lighten up a bit I think the lakeside of the street should be ok. This area is not prone to flooding, if the water is high in this neighborhood you can bet that there is some major street flooding in other parts of town.
Update 9:32 am: Flash flood warnings have just been issued for Orleans and Jefferson parishes.

Looks like you had to just about bust out the canoe. I really like your blog. Keep it up.
