It’s been a tough three weeks and Many of us have lost everything. Even those who didn’t lose their homes or belongings have friends or family who did. But we’ll move forward taking it one day at a time.
But this has also been an historic three weeks as Baton Rouge and the surrounding communities experienced a flood never seen in the history of our towns and parishes. When you are old and surrounded by your grandchildren you will tell them stories of the Great Flood of 2016.
