This morning getting ready for work (here in Louisiana) the DJ's were talking about a 71 year old man was killed walking through the flood waters around his home by a huge alligator. His wife heard the commotion from inside of their home and ran out to try and help him. She managed to pull her husband up onto the front porch and realized his injuries were not survivable. Still, she got in their pirogue (small boat) and went to go find some help. When they got back to her home, her husband's body was gone. As a native born Louisianian, I've come to believe we are the Australia of the United States. We've got so many things here that will kill you-from Alligators to Water Moccasins to Hurricanes.

This here is very, very heartbreaking. Seeing all the homes and buildings either under water or just totally distroyed it's so devastating to look at. And to think about it's the 16th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and now this happens. Praying for people in Louisiana to stay strong and know you will rise-up and rebuild your area again. At, least folks left town before the storm hit. Keeping Louisiana and Tennessee in my prayers asking Almighty God to help both States to recover and rebuild their community to be better than before. In Jesus Name We Pray!!! 🙁💔🙁💪💪🙏 🙏🌳🏠🌳

What happened to Tennessee? 🤔

@@didibolter9362 Hey, there Didi about a week and half ago they had storm that turned into Tsunami instead of just rain. Homes got picked up thrown into the middle of 4-way intersection. Apartments units was split in half. Buildings whole roof blew away and cars was stuck up in the tree and truck slammed into apartment 2nd floor living room. People clinging onto tree and light poles got swept away. One man lost his 14 month baby...the baby got snatch from his arms by the strong current of the fast moving flood water. And Country Singer Loretta Range Handler lost his life...he couldn't hold on to the wooden pole and he was swept away and it's all catch on video camera. Roads are washed away and power lines are laying on the ground everywhere so, they got no power at all...it's just a mess over there. Just keep praying Didi because the Summer is not over yet. Take care and stay safe. God bless you and your family!!! 🙁💔🙁🙏 🙏

Not everyone has the luxury of moving from where they were born. I wish to god I could move from my current city to one with better medical facilities for my and my mom’s health issues, but moving _across town_ when our previous apartment raised our rent took every penny we had and three weeks of work because we don’t have family to help us and could only afford the movers for three hours (long enough to move the beds and things too heavy for our medical 15lb lift limits). It can be nearly impossible to move the two, three, or more hours to a "safe" place when you’re disabled, impoverished, or don’t have family, or even all of the above. And even once you move, you still run the risk of a landslide zone, earthquake zone, flood plain, tornado risk, heat zone, cold zone, etc. There’s no actual safe place to live and people will always find a way to blame you for the natural catastrophes that can occur in your region.

Great video, I especially liked the higher vantage points.

[@Idolmakercat]

Thank you for getting this footage. All I can think is God is angry with the world. We are not doing what we are supposed to do.

[@derp8575]

Natural disasters were occurring long before your deity was conceived by human minds.

[@pranayamdev411]

And what is it we are supposed to do? Pray all day? 24/7? life is composed of Birth death Natural disasters Human Animals Insects Birds etc etc. Natural disasters were here before human and will still be here when human will be extinct like the dodo. The cycle of life.

Actually, on the TV news today, an elderly man was attacked and killed by an alligator near Slidell, LA today.

[@ebdprod]

Is this considered a suburb of NOLA? Would think so given how close it is. I know NOLA was hit hit hard not minimizing it but man the city dodged bullet of that huge donut eyewall that hit this town by what, 30 miles or so? Those old houses would have taken a beating and all that extra stress on the levees...who knows. I guess looking for a silver lining of some kind in this massive catastrophe. Incredible coverage by Brett and team as always. Blows the doors off anything traditional media does. They'd better be paying up for this awesome work! The country is with you, SE LA.

Someone please explain to this California native, where does the water go to drain away? Are there pumps? I've never seen anything like this, and at first I thought I was looking at a river. My state is on fire and we're in an eight year drought. I wish we could take some of that water to help both states. 😢

[@RAconsciousness]

Usually it drains back to some water system, the big lake, the Mississippi River or some branch back to the Gulf of Mexico. We're in different times now; climate change and rising sea levels. Hopefully it will recede. One day in the future, it won't. I hope this is not that day.

[@onetuliptree]

The wind from hurricane Ida (~150 mph) pushed water inland from the Gulf of Mexico. It would be great if they could pump the flood water into trucks and bring it to California, but eventually this water will drain back into the Gulf.

How did that big ass truck wind up way out in the bayou? Then, the drone camera pans outward showing that the "bayou" was once a parking lot or truck stop.
