Flooding swamps northern Louisiana prompting evacuations
Torrential rains lash northern Louisiana for a fourth day flooding roads submerging cars and forcing evacuations across the region. In Bossier City the Red River area bears the brunt with at least three deaths reported and residents like Sam Cassidy stay as waters rise. Rescue crews with high water vehicles and a Coast Guard helicopter aid dozens of flooded homes while authorities warn of looting risk and deteriorating levee conditions. The system shifts south promising more rain with emergency declarations and National Guard deployment in north and southeast Louisiana as Mississippi and Tennessee face rising waters.
