Sheriff KP Gibson said this morning that's the only major damage that has been reported. He said so far, no injuries have been reported.
There were some downed power lines, but nothing major, he said. This morning there were a few lingering high water advisories on parish roads, but most were draining off, he said.
The advice he gave was to know the path you travel; if the area you're traveling in is prone to high water, avoid it for the next few days.
Acadia School Superintendent Scott Richard said no major damage was reported to parish schools.
