flood 2016 walker Louisiana

[@Rogue_Weatherman_Joe-D.]

Brad, Thanks for documenting this tragic and historic event. I live on 190 by Burgess ave. and was surrounded by 2.5' feet of water. Joe D. / Founder & Director

[@blandreneau]

Oh how awful... was looking to see how Pastor Pendarvis and the First Baptist of Algiers did in the flooding.. and found this.. heartbreaking...thanks for posting and for not cursing...

[@corpuscallosum4479]

Compassion to the victims are needed. Donate, donate, donate, time, money, kind words. Please be psychologically ready too. The stress and tedious rebuilding ahead can ruin a lot of families and relationship. Just remember, every dark cloud has a silver lining. I learnt a lot from my suffering with my Sandy destroyed home, that there were so much caring, love, sympathy and help from all over the country. God Bless! Thanks for posting.

[@bradwhittier2098]

believe me, we were definitely praying for the Sandy victims. So many up there had no idea how fast and destructive a hurricane could be. We cringed when we saw video of people saying they were going to ride it out.

[@Primecutpro]

Nice truck at 4:34. That's a shame. What do they do with all those flooded vehicles?

[@bradwhittier2098]

most were totaled and towed off by individual insurance companies. many have not been claimed and are staged at a local fairgrounds

[@nobusmanrbbj]

They drain the fluids and then crush them. After Katrina they were stacked on barges

[@bamapounds]

I was there providing my hands from day 6 to day 11. Thank you for your "service" in the U.S. Cajun Navy.

[@warrenlouisiana2277]

Hell yeah mane live right down pendarvis and on peak we came down to tha Winn Dixie too much water sad that it never came back

[@bradwhittier2098]

the lady at the end is my Mother in law. probably the sweetest person I know. Her home behind her and my office in the red gazebo are now a loss.

[@zynnertime1]

Wait they're completely under water now?

[@bradwhittier2098]

+Diapason Dlvg this video was shot on Saturday. On Sunday they were 5 feet underwater. The Waters receded by Monday evening and destruction efforts are ongoing. It's like Armageddon came to town.

[@Primecutpro]

What part of Louisiana is this?

[@bradwhittier2098]

walker Louisiana

[@caylinadams4782]

The guy working on the boat with the purple shirt and hat is my grandpa

[@gaelenhixson5152]

[@Ironhatchy]

[@jage5256]

[@Ironhatchy]

jage Thanks man.

[@teresah7886]

I use to live on Peaks Lane, so know exactly where you are. Never seen that much water there. Praying for everyone.

[@EasyReefers]

thanks for posting.

[@TheRosebud83]

I haven't lived there for 7 years now. I have a friend who lives in Walker off of Florid on S Palmetto. Does anyone know that are or know how it's doing? Praying for everyone! This is devastating!

[@kyboutbizz2417]

I was impacted by the flood too I was in New Iberia we had over 20 inches of rainfall

[@carterdavison6032]

[@garycarter4297]

We're Here Dog..Brad, Hoping y'all can recover. We gave to Red Cross but you guys got hit hard with no warning. Thinkin bout Y'all...God Speed to Quick Recovery

[@bradwhittier2098]

much appreciated! Keep the prayers and strong backs coming. This is far from over and when the novelty wears off so does the assistance. With Labor Day coming, I hope many will take advantage of the opportunity to help us in need. I will never sit buy and watch something like this happen without jumping in to help. It has changed my life forever.

[@elgrandepouger7052]

I live in Louisiana and my cousin lives in Walker. His house got flooded by 3 feet. They had to leave for a while. They might come to my house to stay a few days.

[@angelberthelot8313]

+leotube39 They are calling it the 500 year flood . Worst flood since 1983

[@kckcmctcrc]

I actually read where this is was a 1,000 year flood. .1% chance of happening.

[@angelberthelot8313]

+kckcmctcrc where you read that at. i would like to know all our news stations are calling it the. 500 year flood

[@kckcmctcrc]

Some On-line source...perhaps not credible. I also saw in The Advocate where they said it would be somewhere between a 500 and 1000 year flood.

[@angelberthelot8313]

+kckcmctcrc either way of its the 1000 or 500 year flood its still bad . we are still not out of the clear

[@PfctvsPontivsPilatvs]

Amazing that some of the houses and commercial establishments took on water whereas others were high and dry... but just barely. My thoughts to the people who had to flee and then returned to see their properties a muddy mess (even if it's just the yards).

[@leahdyess2353]

Is Omni storage under water?

[@chancy5159]

I live in Walker as well near ball park. I'm just hoping it doesn't reach here

[@okiebrown6035]

I'd like to see Hoo Shoo Too Rd. As of yesterday my sisters house was completely under water.

[@TheMguillory24]

I live in Azalea Lakes and the water was still pretty high this morning around 6am.

[@jarodschoeffel4130]

live in Denham... 2 feet of water on burgess rd at my part.. 8 feet of water some points

[@henrikaize]

can weather be manipulated to generate flood ?

[@Machelle3200]

Hell yeah..this is so not natural..

[@isabellayessi]

Yes, look up harrpo and chemtrails .

[@henrikaize]

so , may be this is an experiment of weather manipulation ( by military ) , to be used later as weapon , the next war may be include weather manipulation to kill opponent to force opponent to surrender

[@henrikaize]

both us company ?

[@wtvrnouis]

sounds fake

[@hellohun7331]

Beautiful world class homes ruined, what a shame. How does one recover from such losses. I can't imagine.

[@NewWaveFan1]

"It's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard rain's gonna fall...."

[@jephthelevidescendedjean-l2360]

how this keep happening. is like the conditions is getting worse

[@jephthelevidescendedjean-l2360]

is this happening I'm pineville,LA

[@petepyeatt6909]

The other half of Louisiana is under indictment.

[@somethingg5545]

This is quite dumb to ask or I don't know but I see a lot of houses on the first floor almost to second floor being flooded with a lot of valuables, besides furnitures, like items, carry-able objects, etc that can be saved but seeing other footages they're just being left there to get destroyed by the flood, wouldn't you want to bring every valuable in the house that is carry-able to the highest point or an attic, so you would lessen the damage and loss of personal stuff? Cause you kinda had a decent amount of time to move all personal items, belongings etc to the highest point of your house. My friend told me he even carried all his electronics and his 3000$ PC up to his attic XD

[@bradwhittier2098]

in most single story dwellings , the attic access is two and a half feet by 3 feet. Most Furnishings would not fit and the loss of life was a greater concern then the loss of valuables. The rescue efforts happened so fast that it was get out or risk dying. Most people chose to just get out knowing what we faced with Katrina 11 years ago. No one could fathom that the waters would rise over a foot per hour. Most people went to bed Saturday night thinking the waters were receeding only to wake up Sunday morning and put their feet over the edge of their bed into a foot of water with literally less than three hours to get out.

[@jennw.6508]

I know you posted this a year ago but as someone who went through this the water was rising at an incredibly fast rate I woke up the morning it all happened and alerted my parents that the ditch in the backyard was over flooded and they didnt believe me, withing 20 min it was up to our back porch and soon in our home. Many people weren't worried because water does rise down here but this was like nothing anyone had seen. People were more worried about getting to safety than saving their personal things.

[@jephthelevidescendedjean-l2360]

is that the whole part of LA

[@AzucaNegra16]

The video was just showing part of Walker, Louisiana which is east of Baton Rouge.

[@Heavy.hemi510]

Get some big rigs with water trailers and ship that water here to California, lol

[@jage5256]

We don't want this water full of raw sewage....

[@lorraineconnelly1139]

i live in new orleans everyone who can help in any way possible please do this is a mess we have no flooding down here yet but praying still. new orleans la is close to water also i

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

I hear CSO tastes good.

[@ReligiousZombie]

It's not a "1000-year flood" if it happens twice in 11 years.

[@Hezash]

Hey there - I'm trying to find the owner of this footage- does he have a facebook page or an email?

[@bradwhittier2098]

[@Hezash]

Ok! Just sent you a message. Check your "other" box if you don't see it. :)

[@playinky]

[@Heavy.hemi510]

All of that in the Summer too? Fuck...

[@evenyparada5876]

yep i wad driving through some water to get to florida luckly we made it

[@LouisianaAstroRambler]

I didnt think It got that bad In Walker, damn..

[@Christianjanicki]

LouisianaBoy1990 hey dude my house flooded 4 feet back in August and we're still putting it back together

[@LouisianaAstroRambler]

Ya, I have several friends and family that lost everything here In the Denham and Watson areas. As for my neighborhood though, we were all blessed, our homes were spared. One of my childhood friends that was living off of Pete's hwy In Denham during the time, ended up with 4 feet In her house too. Her and her husband had to wade through knee deep water to hop on one of the boats that was rescuing people In their neighborhood In the middle of the night, all while she carried their new born, and her husband carried their 5yo. Another family friend of ours got 5 feet of water In her house, but as soon as everything started getting back to normal, she was diagnosed with breast cancer just a couple months later. Then my 93 year old grandfather that lives out In Pride, got a foot of water In his house that's already set at 2 feet off the ground. Him and my grandmother had been living In that house for 70+ years. Its the house that my now deceased father and his sisters grew up In. My grandmother has been living at an old folks home for the past year now, so my grandfather was home alone when the water started rising. My cousins that lived down the road from his place, had to get their boat out and go rescue him. Now the local weather Is saying we might get 5 to 6 inches of rain this weekend. My house didn't even get flooded and the thought of this happening again even has me paranoid.

[@warrenlouisiana2277]

Shit pendarvis got that much water I live on peak btw walked thru the damn water to see how bad it was but I didn't see it as that bad

[@alexandriarichardson1491]

my family stays in Winn dixe

[@edithvaldez6697]

The sea watter levels time to buy a boat. even canoa.😪

[@noheadavid6269]

Hey Al Not-So- Sharpton, where's your black lives matter crew to be found in a REAL crisis.

[@zynnertime1]

Please send us all the water -California

[@briancalifornia1]

Why would anyone live there knowing that their will be floods since it's below sea level?

[@bradwhittier2098]

this is not below sea level. 70% of my city is a total loss. this was saturday. on sunday it rose 8 more feet and all my family on pendarvis lost everything. prayers needed. labor appreciated. we will overcome.

[@briancalifornia1]

+Brad Whittier they need more drainage

[@joshfellion5919]

+Brad Whittier to be honest it looks kind of exsilirating to be in the flood with all the water

[@joshfellion5919]

+Brad Whittier it looks fun

[@Machelle3200]

+Josh fellion Not really. This is the South. Nothing but mud, alligators, and poisonous snakes in that water..trust.

[@sherrymitchell96]

i don't hear dude laughing now... ppl have lost everything including life... nothing to laugh about

[@isabellayessi]

True, disgusting and inhabit if inhumane and incumbent as slimy snake feeding of peoples suffering, his a classic energy vampire look it up has the signs and sociopath too.

[@packjim56]

Obama is having too much fun in Martha's Vineyard to bother with visiting Louisiana drowning under metric tons of water. Don't people understand how important his golf game is?

[@maceyhale5711]

well I hope it gets better

[@dorotheawilliams9047]
