Most of you have heard about the flooding in Louisiana. 80% of the homes in my home town of Denham Springs, LA. were flooded the other week. I was one of the lucky ones that didn't get any water.
Early on a Saturday the water was coming up and I was out in waist deep water getting family to safety. I went back to my house to get a few things around 10:30 am and tried to leave my house about 30 min. later, but wasn't unable to get more then 1/2 mile from my house. Where there had been 3 inches of water, there was now 3 feet.
My neighborhood was like an Island and it looked like the water was coming our way.
Now I have a few guns and water in the house would have been very bad so, I got my neighbor's son to come over and started putting guns in the attic. Well I say my attic, it's more like a crawl space.
I didn't have time to keep track of what we were putting up, anything with a wood stock was fare game.
After about an hour and a half of putting guns up my helper had to leave and I still had 150 or so guns that were still not in the attic. I was tired so I made coffee an went out and sat on my front patio to see if the water was close to the house. The water stopped at the front of my neighborhood, about 1/8 of a mile from my door. The bad thing is, my mom's house is just under a mile from me and she got five feet of water in her house.
My mother and one brother are living with me now and it may be a while before I can get the guns out of the attic.
