15 inches of rain flood Louisiana homes, roads
15 inches of rain flood Louisiana homes, roads
http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/13/10667221-15-inches-of-rain-floods-louisiana-homes-roads
States of emergency were in force Tuesday in four Louisiana parishes after torrential rain left homes and roads under several feet of water. Hundreds fled their homes and dozens of motorists had to be rescued.
Flooding closed the major highway through St. Landry Parish, and many roads across the four parishes remained closed on Tuesday.
"In my 28 years in law enforcement I have never seen the interstate closed," St. Landry Sheriff's Capt. Jimmy Darbonne told weather.com.
Dozens of homes in Carencro, a town in Lafayette Parish, were evacuated on Monday when some 15 inches of rain fell within five hours.
