While most drivers were able to leave their vehicles behind to seek higher ground, but one man wasn't fortunate enough to escape the floodwaters alive.
Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG) put out a press release on September 18th that details their FEMA flood rating has improved. For property owners in Lafayette Parish who have flood insurance thorough FEMA, that means a five percent drop in their premium for next year's policy renewal.
While traveling home through flooded streets, one family was met by a woman with a bat who was attempting to slow down vehicles that were driving down the road. The woman hit the family's truck with a bat and also threatened them with a gun.
