And the rest of south Louisiana?
Most of my fam lives there... At least half. Texted my pops and he says it's not looking good. Its been raining like 3 days straight going on the 4th tomorrow... My grandparents house is flooded. My aunt and grandmother have been stuck in traffic for 4 hours and cant call because my aunt left her cellphone trying to get my grandmother.
My grandad is stubborn.. Decided to stay home and ride it out now no one can get in touch with him...
Denham springs is gone. My brother lost his car and everything in it... And thats just this morning
Louisiana flooding: Residents evacuate in southern part of state - CNN.com

There's a state of emergency declared where they'll get federal disaaster funding.
But the Olympics, Clinton vs. Trump, and Milwaukee riots have overshadowed the weather disaster. If nothing else was poppin, this would be on the headlines.
There's a crazy wildfire in California going on too. No one gives a crap.

Any updates? There has been little to none media coverage

Not really...

People have gotten out or away for the most part... But shyt is fukked up. I think the rain is supposed to slow up soon but we dont know for how long. Most my fam are scattered but safe. Recovery is going to be hell... Like i said, its like what happened in Katrina all over again

It's below sea-level, what would concrete do?

We're at literally the same level over here, and this is what protects one province in the Netherlands that looks like this, for example:

And we also got this shyt:

It looks small but it's some huge ass civil engineering that took place

I think it's the same company that build the Palm Island in Dubai by the way if I remember correctly
