It's due to non-stop rain for 48 hours in the state's south.

quote:

...

In Livingston Parish, which saw more than 17 inches of rain on Friday alone, officials said over a thousand people have been rescued from flooding so far as of Saturday morning, and they’re working to save another 150 in the Watson area. The Louisiana National Guard is sending a helicopter to assist with rescues in the drenched community.

In East Baton Rouge Parish, officials said more than 200 people have been rescued from flooding and 42 roads have been closed. The parish seat, Baton Rouge, had over 8 inches of rain on Friday, its wettest day on record.

...

As a result of the heavy rain and widespread flooding, Louisiana Gov. Edwards declared a state of emergency for the entire state to stay in effect until Sept. 10. Officials are urging people to stay off the roads.

...

Within the southeast state, there are 18 parishes with emergency declarations and three others in the process of making emergency declarations. Meanwhile, flash flood warnings remain in effect for parts of Louisiana through the weekend.

And the rainfall isn't over. An additional 5 inches of rain is expected to douse parts of Louisiana this weekend -- including some areas that have already had more than a foot of rain.

The loving top opens. Its two latches, and the bitch opens. Dog and drunk lady could be free!

How do you even wind up getting in that situation in a Miata. Just sitting there being loving wasted and watch it crawl over your windshield as you slowly blissfully float around with your dog?

It's a boating term. It's areas were you are supposed to go slow and thus not create a wake so you don't swamp stuff or rock other peoples boats and such. The guy's either being a smart rear end or doesn't want people trying to tear rear end through and possibly flooding the houses, maybe?

He may be acting like a jackass but in a situation where people are maybe standing on something that's barely above water to avoid drowning, you should not be tearing rear end through the lovely flooded swamp hellscape just because you leased a boat you're finally having a chance to use

Hiveminds are pretty cool, imagine if the drunken LA folk could instantly group up and form a human raft towards the nearest state that isnt louie

also maybe allah is trying to be creative with the rapture; a few zika mosquitoes here, a flooded shitwater state here, a wave of humidity there....
