Summary
Tropical Storm Arthur dumped a staggering 17 inches of rain on Pointe Coupee Parish, triggering widespread flooding that submerged at least 50 homes. Parish President Major Thibaut says they’re praying for affected residents and standing by to help. One homeowner, Chloe Coleman, described returning to find her house underwater—blamed on a sewer backup and failed pumps—with costly damage to floors and furniture. Officials urge everyone to document and report damage, as these reports will be sent to state authorities to determine if broader aid is possible. Cleanup is underway as residents begin rebuilding, hoping for state support to lighten the load. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
