Theres no waking up from this nightmare.

Hang in there. We are all still with you

What's going on now, Mr. Bud? Was hoping for a more positive update than that.

The only positive thing I can pass on to you all is every night after I do the generator check before nightfall I eat a chocolate pudding cup that the 2 hero's with collaboration thru trapperman gave us, that's it. That's the only positive thing i can think of. Pass three days we got more rain than during the hurricaine, it wont stop, all day long heavy downpours, everything is soaked and flooded,

I sure sympathize with you. When I went through hurricane Hugo we were without power for 6 weeks. I sure hope that is not your case. A major hurricane changes your life...forever.

Pray for some sunshine and dry weather. Is your mail still being delivered?

I was wondering how much rain y'all were getting from this latest storm. If anyone is able to deal with a disaster like you're facing it would be a trapper and outdoorsman like you. I imagine it will take a long long time for the area to rebuild but you need to try to keep as positive an outlook as possible because your family is counting on you to be the strong one.

Keep posting to us. We all feel your pain and wish we could help more. Good luck the rain will stop......jk

No mail lady pass few days, she gave up I guess. I dont blame her. Living in our living room. With my camping stuff. One small lamp. One light run by usb port into one of those things you jump a car with, gen running our frig in kitchen, a freezer in garage, extension cord in living room to charge phones and run lamp. We are trying to eat one decent meal a day with things given to us, usually cooked on outside grill before dark. Mre for lunch, at this time your frame of mind is far away from planning big meals. I'm diabetic, I was on a diet my body was use to. I'm eating now alot of different things, when I woke yesterday morning I thought I was dying

And just now I felt something crawling under my shirt. It was one of those giant red wasp. In my living room, dont know how it didnt sting me

Dang thought I had the whole population of them here. Just found 2 new nests of them today.PM me your mailing address.

Bud, will there be more crayfish than normal because of all the flooding?

Will there be decent, easy to catch fish, trapped in small bodies of water, when the water goes down?

I hope thing go back to normal for you as soon as possible.

Keith

AA batteries on the way Bud! There's is light in the near future!

And to think some folks save up all year and drive for miles to go camping and rough it.

Hang in there Bud.

Drifter I had to post here wont go thru pm
Still weak cell service, sometimes not at all

Bud, is there anything you need that can be mailed?

Keith, yesterday a friend put waders on and started collecting crawfish traps, some blown about 2000 feet away, some laying scattered thruout the pond, my boat I run traps with was blown 1000 feet away into a wooded area, while he was walking thru rice growing in pond big crawfish were jumping, some in traps laying under water, the pond is full of crawfish right now, water level at top of overflow drain and I never pumped water. My pump is still here in shed, rain filled the pond to overflow, overflow is at 28 inches

Do you need a coleman stove? can you get white gas?

I'm good with stoves, I actually have a coleman but thank you danny. We are using a grill outside or my jetboil inside

Oh look, the sun is out, a little cell service, loaded radar for First time. I shouldn't have looked
Mr dobbins, thank you but I have no clue anymore except batteries. We go thru batteries like mad, head lamps, I had one for my wife and daught, I had three, I lost all my three. Last night I was carrying a tealight to go take a pee.
Darla said gift cards, have no clue where the heck we could use a gift card, lol
They may try to open a section of walmart soon, national guard were helping them clean up. 2 gas stations have opened, 15 gallon limit, yesterday darla and I took a short ride down the bayou. They were filling cars and cans from a tanker truck. I kid you not the line was about a mile and a half long
Any type of light using usb power source would be a blessing. Church group gave us a small solar charger lamp, you can also charge your phone with it. Or generator power to charge it. Wish I had more of those. Believe it's called a lumenaid.
Generator about to shut down, we try not running during the day to conserve gas. We just started seeing black mold on our insulation in our attic, desperate to combat this because if mold takes over we are doomed. I cant do much myself because of disabilities, theres no way I can climb into attic to remove insulation. My daughter went up there and sprayed 3 gallons of mean green, someone told us this works well. We also sprayed 3 gallons of mold control with a potato pump but church handing it out ran out, people were desperate for the stuff. Along the roads you see mountains of pink insulation and sheetrock and ceiling tiles they have stripped out of homes to get the mold out
