Several counties within the Baton Rouge area are inundated by flood waters, including areas of Mississippi. There has been a massive evacuation in the southern areas of Louisiana. Ascension Paish has been the center of this story.
Do you have friends or relatives in that area? Rains are a threat in areas even outside this region. Even drought areas not to mention Dallas, Texas, have seen moderate rain fall and a slight decrease in temperatures in the past 24 hours.
The flooding in Baton Rouge is adding insult to injury I am afraid. Is there no end in sight?

Ascension Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness released a flood zone map that highlights areas they think will have moderate to major flooding.

I didn't realize what was going on there until I saw a news article about it online earlier today. I don't know anyone living in that area. I pray for those who lost their homes.

I hope so. It seems these people are getting far too many floods as if Katrina wasn't enough.

I am wondering if the levees have been damaged or if they are working on improving them.
