I was on the path of the eye of the storm. But in the last 4 hours, it seemed to shift further West. I live in Lafayette Parish...

I am grateful to God that this storm has been a non-event.

Normally, I would hear the 'howling' of the wind, but this has not happened. Not much rain or wind where I am at (so far).

The coastal parishes of Louisiana have had some serious problems with flooding and levees being overtopped.

"The coastal parishes of Louisiana have had some serious problems with flooding and levees being overtopped. "

Thus far, I have seen two reports of "overtopping". Both were non-COE levees and the cause of the overtopping was failure to maintain the levees on the part of the governing authorities. The authorities knew the levees were not adequate, yet they failed to fix them.
