flooding as that water continues to make its way down the river towards morgan city. this small neighborhood made up of about 20 or so homes got the evacuation orders this morning. national guard soldiers and sheriff's deputies going door to door. we've seen literally some people picking up their trailer homes and having them hauled away to higher ground, and throughout the areas that have been ordered to evacuate, some 250 homes affecting almost 800 people, we've seen those in this specific area literally packing everything they can into trucks, moving advance, trailers, whatever they can to move to higher ground and they say that they are anticipating being away for almost a month because they have been told in this area where we're standing to expect as much as 10 to 15 feet of water. a little while ago i spoke with the parish president here and they said they expect water to flow into some of these neighborhoods and creeping into some of the neighborhoods around midnight tonight, so in the coming days the scene around here will be changing very dramatically. ed lavandera, cnn, cross
