Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
This is how it starts.....

Being a lazy, disengaged loser. What's happening with you weirdos?
Pretty much the same. Eating some little Debbie’s in bed right now
Oh! Hi boys!
There's entirely too many jokes just waiting in that reply....
What's cooking?!?
Well Wednesday night the midgets from across the street come over. Strange that the are both little people and have the same name (Debbie)
Speaking of midgets....what's the difference between an intelligent midget and venereal disease?
Tale me

I hope it makes a huge eastern track. It was said today this one will inflict a minimum 3 days to a weeks or longer without power. Same as the last one 13 years ago at the same time of year. Power was off here for 7 days and it is terrible to live like that when you still have such hot temperatures during the day. Also I am missing two dogs to keep me company and my small generator to make coffee when I get up, I could watch TV and run a fan with my small honda generator but I still had to conserve fuel. People were lining up a 16th of a mile to buy gas and they were filling uncovered garbage cans with raw gasoline, totally illegal but yet the station was allowing it. Not bad since it was 13 years ago, then of course they had the bad one that went thru Houston right after the one we had. I drove to Oppelusas the evening that one made landfall so I could buy speakers for my computer system at walmart. There was absolutely no one on the highway the rain was so hard and the wind was high. I came across a four mile bridge almost home and it rained so hard I was driving 10 miles an hour, you couldn't see anything , but like I said I was the only stupid one out in that kind of weather.

I'm well west nrlns like 100 miles. It still looks like it could come in thru my area or NO. At this time they have Baton Rouge as the target which only gives me 35 to 40 miles buffer. Last night I saw a local station that charted the wind speeds for this area and it didn't look so bad at 47 mph gust, we have that during some of these rain storms off the Gulf. I learned to never believe the weather report until it has passed the area. I have been thru 3 major storms in this area over the past 30 years and Katrina I was living in Houston so I missed that one. I was a young fella when Carla destroyed Galveston but water was still 3 feet in Houston at some areas and that was long before all the concrete was laid which is now the problem for Houston, no where for the water to drain.
Stay safe and I hope you miss any of the misery about to be passed around.
