A Minecraft Creeper Over Louisiana This Morning?

If you are a Minecraft fan or have a kid who is, you might have a flash of recognition when you see this layout of the flash flood warnings in Louisiana this morning.

It looks like a Minecraft Creeper. Sss…BOOM!

One might think the National Weather Service had a sense of humor with the warnings placement, but not in this case. The smaller warning polygons are flash flood emergencies for communities that are in big trouble due to flooding this morning. Numerous water rescues, evacuations and road closings are underway. Many areas have had over nine inches of rain just this morning.
