We had 23.5 inches in less than 48 hours in Opelousas. Fortunately we only had small areas affected locally, but they estimate 75% of the homes in Livingston Parish(east of Baton Rouge) were destroyed and most folks didn't have flood insurance because it was not a designated flood zone. I 10 and 12 were closed for 3 days and over a 1000 big trucks and cars were stranded. The Bass Pro shop in Denham Springs was flooded and the new Academy Sports store on I 12 had over 10 ft of water in it. Other areas were hit hard as well and 12 people died. It will take years to recover and the toll on people and wildlife is incalculable. We have a lot of tough foiks in this state who have survived floods, hurricanes, police shootings and more. We will survive this as well. Please open your hearts and wallets to help those who have lost everything. Have a blessed day.
