In Ascension Parish. Many trees and powerlines down. Highway crews out with heavy equipment clearing those. We run many medical and rescue call in last 24 hours. Some houses are literally being sliced by trees.
High water over roadways and rivers flooding from rains north of area. River flooding will peak in coming days. Many homes will likely have water inside for days till rivers subside.

We've got generator power and fiber optic phone lines that are. Burried are working here. Cell towers have lost power and can't make AT&T calls here on cell. Texts go out after finding a working tower. Takes a few minutes though.  
911 calls have slowed for the moment and all parishes in area are under curfew. Only emergency vehicles allowed on roads till six am.
Within 24 hours after the river begins to rise from upstream. My downstairs is going to flood. Hope the upper story stays dry. It's about 16 feet above sea level.
Facing a mess but some will have it much worse.
