14 August 2016 (AP) – Emergency crews in Louisiana worked through Saturday night to rescue thousands of residents in the southern part of the state from their cars and homes overwhelmed with flood waters.

Louisiana State Police officials say about 125 vehicles were left along Interstate 12 near Baton Rouge. [more]
