back in my 20s, i had just moved from baton rouge to new orleans. one evening i was driving from br to nola and got caught in a flood. it crept up so fast that no matter where i tried to drive, i could not outrun the rising water. next thing i knew i was in the middle of a strange neighborhood with water up to my waist. the only option i had was to exit my car and wade to the closest house in the pitch black of night. i ended up having to sleep there (not that i got one second of sleep) , and should have probably been stuck there for days, as my car was sitting flooded in the middle of the road, but i slipped out at 6 in the morning when everyone was sleeping bc i wanted to get home. it was a pretty dumb move, and i ended up wading through murky water with downed light poles for miles to get home. (luckily i had my dog with me, or i probably would have been a bit frightened. the family was very nice though, and i can't complain at all about them.)
i wonder if they have carefully checked and searched the homes around the area she got flooded in. i know baton rouge floods quickly the same way new orleans can. if she abandoned her car bc of flooding, she would not have had much choice but to get to higher ground and shelter, much like i did.
the fact that this happened back in december, though, does not sound positive. she would have been found by now if she had drowned. my gut says this is going to be bf/ex related. her kids deserve answers. i will never understand how people just vanish. it's scary and totally unnerving.
