Summary
Avoyelles Parish is in crisis as historic flooding from Thursday’s rains swells Bayou Rouge, submerging roads, yards, and homes—with Plaucheville hit hardest. Officials cut a critical bayou connection to speed drainage for Cottonport, but water lingers over 24 hours later. Longtime resident Avery Moses, who’s lived on William Guillory Road since 2011, says he’s never seen anything like it—now needing a boat to reach his property. Without flood insurance (his home’s not even in a designated zone), he’s desperate for answers on how to get the water out. Residents are left grappling with the aftermath and uncertain futures.
