It rained today in Alexandria, LA. Overpasses closed due to runoff, several major roads closed because the storm drains have overflowed. It's as bad in Alexandria as I've seen it for awhile. By that, I mean almost 40 years.
I went to Academy Sporting Goods today after work, when the bottom fell out, and I saw stranded cars, flooded neighborhoods, and extremely slow traffic. I came home from Academy and it took me over an hour to get home, simply because many of my usual routes were impassable. It's normally a 20 minute drive from South MacArthur to my house. Several abandoned vehicles on Lee Street, one car in particular floating in a ditch because the woman couldn't see the curb on Prescott and drove it into about 3 feet of water.
