A wet pattern continues in Acadiana, and many are trying to dry out after an especially heavy rainfall overnight.
That includes St. Landry Parish, where four inches of rain fell in just a few hours. That meant flooding for those who live and work along Highway 190.
It was all clear in Eunice Tuesday evening, but during the morning rush, vehicles were stalled and the road was difficult to get through, putting a strain on local businesses along the highway.
