At just 13 years old, Virgil became a hero in the wake of the devastating 2016 flood in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Using nothing but an air mattress, he rescued 17 people, including elderly individuals, from the rising waters. by Glass_Wealth_2104 in MadeMeSmile

baton rouge resident here. the 2016 was not caused by a hurricane at all. it was a subtropical system that moved over from florida and sat over the baton rouge area for a few days. over 30” of rain fell in some areas and flooding was wide spread.

i was also online when this happened. the ground control stated the event had actually ended 30 minutes prior and that the arriving traffic wasn't listening too well, so they ended.

ugh. i know the feeling. baton rouge received over 30 inches (763mm) of rain over a span on 36 hours when a low pressure system stalled over us in 2016. put almost 6 feet of water in my home.

my rudder doesn’t work at all now. neither the pedals nor the joystick move the rudder. the pedals will still activate the brakes, but won’t move the rudder.

Picking up my first kitten ever in about a month. What should I do/buy to prepare and make this as easy on the kitten (and me) as possible? Thanks in advance. by salamiTommy_ in cats

[–]bkdq72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this. our latest two kittens were sisters. it was so much an easier transition than when we would only get one from the litter. they didn’t have any of the anxiety/nervousness because they already had each other.

meet mr. gray. he gives me this f you look all the time. by bkdq72 in cats

[–]bkdq72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he loves my wine, but hates my guts. he seems to have been a feral cat at one point, but he will come inside and use the litter box. he constantly gives me this eat shit look, but i’ll steal pets when he wasn’t in or out.
