BATON ROUGE - Instead of a Memorial Day BBQ, family gatherings in some neighborhoods involve flood clean-up after the torrential rain two weeks ago. Days later, there s still plenty of work to do.
Clara and Wayne Laird have lived in their Jefferson Terrace home for 44 years. This is the first time they ve had to deal with a flood. We lost almost all of our stuff, said Wayne.
The Lairds are spending their Memorial Day sifting through what is left in the house and boxing it up. Some of it will be donated.
BATON ROUGE – Many homeowners had to change their plans this Memorial Day weekend. Two weeks after heavy storms, people are still working to clean out their homes.
There s some new insight into why East Baton Rouge couldn t get a jump on the heavy rain and flooding last week. The city has been saying it doesn t have enough workers to clear drainage ditches and canals.
