There's nothing to be happy about when a hurricane is bearing down on you, and it's worse when you're caught on the east side of the storm with heavy rains because the winds blow counter clockwise, meaning that rivers and streams and lakes that open or drain into the Gulf of Mexico will pile up and keep getting higher as long as the story is over the area. Southeast Louisiana can take 20 inches of rain over a few days, but not when there's no place for the water to go.
