Summary
Tropical Storm Arthur unleashed flash floods across Southeast Louisiana, with the Tchefuncte River surging unexpectedly and trapping residents near Folsom—some rescued by specialized vehicles as fast-moving water swallowed cars. While wind wasn’t the threat, the storm’s heavy, rapid rainfall overwhelmed already saturated ground, prompting a Flood Watch through Friday. Officials urge everyone to stay off roads, especially overnight, as emergency crews work to clear drainage systems and brace for more rain—public safety remains the top priority.
