Here's what I've got for those still trying to help. One of you call wildlife and fisheries, then post here where they'd like yall to be. Also, I've got a friend in the walker/Denham springs area that spent today rescuing. If anyone would like his number to try and organize, shoot me a pm. Not sure if he's going to be tomorrow, as his house got hammered, and I know he's going to have to get it stripped out pretty quick, so he may be doing that tomorrow.

I did go out to St. Amant, today at the request of my neighbor. They evac'ed his parents this morning at the last minute because his dad didn't want to leave. They left in a rush and left a few things that they needed....and their pet cockatiel bird. LOL quick trip and there were plenty of boats.

I had to report to work this morning...bit, we sent everybody home at 10:00...of course, I was there til nearly 1:00. Got to be there tomorrow morning. We're going to assess the manpower availability and needs on a day to day basis. If I get out early again, I'll hit you up. I'm pretty much over APSO and Ascension's OEP. Almost called down to Iberville Parish tonight to see if they needed any help tonight.

Prayers to all out there. Bad stuff going on right now.

All,

Was out again today in Ascenscion and the water is still rising but slowly. We did not personally find any people to rescue per say in 3 different spots we went to in StAmant, or Gálvez. We did help someone find a pet that was left behind. Also shuttled people across flooded areas either to be picked up or back in to areas that were not flooded but only accessible by boat for supplies like water, groceries, and items left behind.

I live here and am familiar with the flooded areas. From what I can tell by looking at the predictions of flood stages for the Amite at Port Vincent the water should start to recede some time over night or tomorrow.

Thanks to all that are helping!

Made a few passes in st amant yesterday. Buddy rescued someone's cat. Some people were still in their homes and didn't want to leave. I have my boat with me at work and am willing to help after I get off again. Let me know if you guys hear of anywhere in need. Just shoot me a text. 225-264-0227

We started friday morning in Clinton, LA. Worked our way through Zachary and Baton Rouge all the way down to Gonzales sunday night and yesterday during the day. Our little crew had 5 boats with us and its just unreal what we saw. I had to come to work today but i feel helpless while folks are still working in sorrento to get people out. I hope i never see anything like this again in my life. Hats off to everyone else thats out there helping!!

I saw a short clip on HLN today...actually two versions. It was pretty cool. Had people texting me at 6:00 this morning saying the story came across their news feeds. LOL

Really, there were so many other boats out there that deserve so much more credit than me. I know there were people coming from far away in large groups to help...and spending way more to,e on the water than what I did. All are true heroes in my book!
