Thread: This rain is unbelievable right now

Danny,
I am truly saddened by the news of your flooding. I cannot comprehend what it must be like as I have never experienced it.
I am sincere when I say that if you need anything please send me a PM or post it on the site.

Thanks everyone. Hang on Randy, more rain coming the next few days.

Just seen this. Missed seeing them do this today. Glad to see my girl smiling. We haven't had time to smile much. That is in front of her house. The pile grew larger all day. As far as you can see houses look like this. Will post more pics tomorrow, too tired tonight.

Prayin' everything works out for the good. Sorry to hear about all the terrible damage. Hang in there.

I heard most of the schools in their parish were devastated and heard at least 90% of the people affected, most of them bad. My great nephew, a state trooper, who worked NOLA after Katrina said it looks the same. I did not have the heart to go after Katrina. Very sad situation.They totaled both vehicles today and are supposed to come get them and issue checks tomorrow. The contractor who was supposed to show 48 hours ago, still has not. The piles are getting so bad, beginning to be hard to drive around. Looks like we saved all the cabinet tops today and both refrigs. Everything to be ripped out is done. Most trash outside, now how to clean the concrete and remove the smell. We have chemicals to spray and treat for mold. Gonna be a couple more busy days, then will be waiting.

I'm surprised the water came down so fast over there - not here. Very slow fall, at least it is falling somewhat. Still paddling back and forth:



That girl right there is a trooper from the word go, and knows what it is all about. The reason why she is my best friend.

Hey D, how in the world are they going to replace the OSB on the exterior of those walls. Cant leave it, will just rot in no time. And you cant dry it out and maintain strength. Make sure your daughter asks the adjuster that. Really should pull the brick down to repair. Not trying to make a horrible situation worse but dont want your daughter getting a half hearted repair to save budget, creating more problems in future.

I can't tell from the pictures but I would think there is Expanded Polystyrene Foam Board Insulation between the brick and studs. I do know there are different types when it comes moisture. But your right I'd check into it regardless what's there.
