Photos of Flooding in Acadiana August 12th, 2016
With the persistent and heavy rains pouring down in Acadiana, it was only a matter of time until Facebook began filling up with flood photos. Once again, please be careful and if you don't absolutely have to be out on the roads, stay put if you are in a flooded area. Dangers abound when attempting to navigate roadways that are submerged under water, especially when the depth is unknown. Vehicles can become stalled or even swept away in rising flood waters. Here's a few images from the rains today, and will update periodically
