This is the fourth day of continuous rain in South Louisiana where I live . . .

STOP!

Rain makes me feel sad
Four days of steady downpour
Reported three dead

Yep, Louisiana is one wet job alright, but deaths are another thing. So sad. You give the feel of the rain and the depression so well. Here's to some sunshine for you.

Appreciate the sunshine, Redstart. I have lived down here a long time and I have never seen four days of continuous rain before.

Are you expecting to have to leave your home Jerry? I read where so many have had to. Stay safe pal.

No Ari, I live on high ground, I am fortunate, many have lost everything, some their lives.

Yes, it's very sad to know how people can be caught in floodwater. It sounds like you are safe though and that's a blessing. That you care about those people says alot about you!

I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather...not like the passengers screaming in the back of his car.
