Even though the rain has slacked off as of Friday evening, flooding will continue
to be the focal point over the next couple of days in Ouachita parish, as more rain
is forecasted. The University Police and Physical Plant are closely monitoring the
situation around the clock and are prepared to act in the event of flooding.
Those in and around campus should stay out of affected areas. Swimming, sightseeing,
and walking around the flooded Bayou are strongly discouraged. There are holes under
the water, swift currents in some areas, snakes and other animals coming onto higher
ground, and unstable surfaces. Motorists are asked to avoid driving on flooded roads.
For campus emergencies and reports of flooding, please contact the University Police
at 318-342-5350.
