AUDIO: Dave Baker Discusses Lafayette, Acadiana Flooding
After a day of heavy downpours and flash flooding, Acadiana is drying out as floodwaters recede. Lafayette saw around seven inches of rain on Monday. Lake Charles received around 12.5 inches of rain. Other areas in southern Louisiana saw as much as 13 inches of rain.
More rain is expected in the region over the next two days. That rain could aggravate flooding issues along area roads and waterways, especially the Vermilion River. The Vermilion River crested at 14.5 feet overnight. The river s stage is slowly falling. However, water from drainage canals and coulees are forcing the river to run backwards. That backflow could cause flooding problems for some residents who live along the river in Lafayette and St. Martin Parishes.

Jack Frost, known to many in Acadiana as a long-time host and anchor on KATC, has died.
Frost passed away Saturday after being placed in hospice care earlier this week following a fall at home, and then a hospital stay, according to social media posts by his wife. With a heavy heart I m sad to report that Jack passed away about 12:55 p.m. He had been under hospice care since Thursday, April 15 so thankfully he wasn t in pain for a long period of time, his wife, Mary, posted on his Facebook page yesterday. His condition had been declining since he entered the hospital on March 29. His kidneys were failing and he was adamant about not having dialysis. We had a happy time together the past almost 19 years and I ll miss him with all my heart and soul. Rest in Peace, my love.
