Livingston Parish President Layton Ricks said the aftermath from Ida may the worst thing he has seen, even worse than the floods that wrecked the parish in 2016.
Ricks stressed that everyone will have to show patience.
As thousands of residents wait for power to be restored, something Entergy and DEMCO say could take weeks, a new problem is arising. The Tickfaw River at Monteplier is forecast to crest at 21.5 feet on Friday, a projection Ricks says that if accurate would put water in most of Holden.
As it stands now, Livingston Sheriff Jason Ard said the river is not a major concern though if it continues to rise that is subject to change.
