Families in Tangipahoa Parish urged to take evacuation orders seriously
Families in Tangipahoa Parish are bracing for widespread flooding and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is urging people to take evacuation orders seriously.
St. Landry Parish has lifted a mandatory evacuation that drove hundreds of residents out of their homes after the Army Corps of Engineers opened the Morganza floodway, diverting the swollen Mississippi River's flood waters into the Atchafalaya River.
