This is always a sad and deadly thing that can ruin peoples lives and personal treasures.
Lets all hope that many of our members in the New Orleans area like @BigEasy , @kloudie1 and many more are SAFE and that their landlubber homes and possessions safe and dry.

This low pressure area over LA would have been a Hurricane if it had developed in the Central Gulf and held position like it is now.

What is happening....
This low pressure center is perfectly positioned and stalled with a minor westward movement toward East Texas.
In essence it is a "Bucket Brigade" evaporating warm Gulf Water and passing it north to Louisiana and dumping it, continuously.
It is doing what a Hurricane would do without the devastating storm surge and high winds.
The low pressure system NEEDS to move ashore or just MOVE!
