In Livingston Parish (a bit East of James), it is estimated that about 100,000 of the approx. 135,000 residents have flooded homes. In my parish, Ascension, it is estimated that about 30,000 people have flooded homes. The last I heard, about 10,000 people are in temporary shelters. This was a huge amount of rain that fell Thursday thru Sunday last weekend. It just overwhelmed a lot of the infrastructure, including levees, diversion canals, etc etc...
