The vampire is beloved because of his fleeting times of vulnerability. He might slaughter generations and villages, but he NEEDS PEOPLE TO SURVIVE. He kills, but he loves; that's what makes the vampire more alluring than say a zombie. Anyway duh, Vampires can't swim. You know how I know this? because I've read hundreds of thousands of pages (ok maybe 100) about vampires traveling by sea, eating rats in whatever the basement of a boat is called. Don't you think they would have swam that if they could have? It's so dumb that Twilight ignored this, but whatever. Half of Dracula is devoted to making provisions for Dracula's safe passage to England. The voyage demonstrates just how dependent Vampires are on us humans. The same thing with Interview with a Vampire. It's all about the voyage at sea. The oceanic trip is an important vampire trope. Traveling is frightening for Vampires because of the control that they necessarily have to give up. Control they have to give to us, their delegates. (Lawyers are very important to the life of a vampire. They make all things possible.)
Anyway all this to say that the vampires of Southern Louisiana are definitely feeling the opening of the Morganza Spillway.
The whole thing is just horrible. It sucks. Nobody needed this.
