Time to take a step outside the "one-track" sports-mined blog.

After experiencing what the Shreveport area did last night, it was unreal.

I am originally from the northeast, and never saw flood waters like last night.  I've seen bad floods, but again, nothing ever like last night.  After last night's newscast, Fletch, Gerry May, myself, and many other on the KTBS staff got a chance to go out and cover some of the area's damage, and we also saw how bad some of the flood waters had risen.  Some stranded motorists told Gerry May that this was like a mini hurricane Katrina.

From what I saw, I feel city officials did a great job for the man power they had, they helped as many people as they could.

Now, it's time for clean-up, and driving around on Wednesday, I saw many places damaged, whick included homes, and even little league fields completly destroyed.  It may take some time, but the big picture in all this, no reported fatalities from the high waters, which in my opinion is the most important news in all of this.
