A number of Grant Parish Sheriff’s deputies responded along with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Louisiana National Guard, Louisiana State Police, and the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. A total of 113 people and 3 dogs were evacuated safely. 91 of which were taken out by boat and the other 22 were led out by deputies on foot over an earthen dam in Old River.People are still trying to get vehicles out, and I understand that it was quite exciting when the levee gave way. Of course, some local wag had to make a poster.
Ha! Yeah, that just about says it all. Again, I'm glad that everyone got out alive, and I'm proud of my brethren for mounting the rescue effort. Good Job, Grant Parish S.O.
Yeah, THAT is redneck... And glad the folks are safe...
