    I know a guy who lives in Sorrento but he is probably to stupid to leave.
    He probably blames the storm on a government conspiracy. His bible truth comes from whatever they say on the Coast to Coast radio show

    yeah i know a couple people who live there too. Thats at the end of 44 near sorrento so yeah they are definitely vulnerable. Hope they come out ok.

    They are now saying 80% of Livingston Parish is considered a total loss. Asc Parish wont be as bad but its not too far behind because its basically a flat plain where the water goes everywhere once that amount comes down you find out quickly.
    The weird part is the water going backwards into Spanish Lake at Alligator Bayou Road from Bayou Manchac. It was still doing so last night at a pretty rapid rate.

    Think one of those easy-set pools but enclosed. Seen em used in canals for bridge work. Never seen it used for a length of highway though.

    Prairieville is an expanding bedroom suburb of Baton Rouge. Its name comes from the once plentiful pastures and prairies that were visible from Highway 73 (Jefferson Hwy.) and Airline Highway which is now covered with development. Prairieville started off as a quiet community with few people.

    In recent decades, Prairieville has benefited from immigration out of Baton Rouge, with new residents particularly drawn to the area by its high-performing public schools and low crime rate. Prairieville had an official 2010 census population of 26,895 inhabitants.[1] If it incorporated it would be the largest city in Ascension Parish. Prairieville is in one of the fastest-growing areas in Louisiana. Prairieville's population is bigger than the parish's two largest incorporated cities, Donaldsonville (7,436) and Gonzales (9,781) combined.

    ATT is still giving me problems. I may have to switch carriers just because they are pissing me off.

    A friend who lives in Florida but still has his 225 number told he that he was having trouble with ATT. I don't know how they route the
    calls but he is far away from the cell towers that were affected by the storm.
