CNN reports. Residents in Louisiana’s Atchafalaya River basin packed up treasured possessions and scrambled to build makeshift levees Monday as federal authorities diverted more water their way from the swollen Mississippi. “We just moved in here, and now we’re in the process of moving everything out,” said Jake Nolan, of the town of Krotz Springs. But he added, “I have no choice. If not, I’m going to lose everything.”
I send my prayers out for the residents to have a speedy return to their homes.
