1/ A thread on the ridiculous amount of rain our area has received in 2021. Baton Rouge Airport has now topped 70" of rain for the year & currently has a surplus of 25" for 2021. #LAwx

2/ These big rain numbers aren't the result of just a couple of events. Rains have been relentless since the spring. Baton Rouge has already surpassed its normal rainfall for the entire month of September. That's 7 straight months of above-normal rains.

Want to see what a major hurricane will do? Look no further than Cocodrie, LA. My 2nd survey through Houma, Dulac and Chauvin so far…Houma traffic is a nightmare, all areas outside of Houma on route without power and likely for a lot longer… #Ida #LAwx

September 11, 2001, 9:45 am: The FAA closed U.S. airspace — the first unplanned closure of U.S. airspace in history. In just a matter of hours, all commercial air traffic was grounded. #September11

Hurricane #Ida damage in Chauvin, LA…Yesterday’s survey showed decimation and mostly unlivable conditions from Dulac over to Cocodrie and up through Chauvin. Many folks are toughing it out here. Keep them in your thoughts and actions. #LAwx
