Flood

Thanks to the severe weather, we're seeing a rash of road closures and school closures this morning. Schools in Beauregard, Jeff Davis and Vernon parishes are shut down today, as are schools in Acadia, Lafayette, St. Landry, Vermillion and St. Martin parishes . Here's a list of roads that are also either closed or flooded:

As the Morganza Spillway was opened this weekend to give relief to the rising Mississippi River, folks in the effected area's are being encouraged to seek higher ground.

So the Flood gates have opened!!!!  They opened the Morganza Spillway today to give some relief to the Mississippi River.

With all the floods in Tennessee and now Mississippi, Louisiana braces for the rising waters. People are on high alert and are waiting to see what our elected officials and the Army Corp of Engineers plan to do to spare our state of massive flooding.
