well, it's good that my mom isn't watching the news

that bayou a few blocks from me
has made news
roughly equivalent to what i saw earlier
near my mom

it's overflowed
people's houses are flooded

it's so close

it's draining off
but
slow

they've been saying all day
if you have a boat
get out and rescue people
if you don't
stay put

if the water is rising in your house
don't stay in the attic
get on the roof

it's gonna be a long couple days
