be flowing down this river. it's a very slow process, kind of pain staking for the people who live ins they communities. yesterday in saint landry's parish north of where we are, there were mandatory evacuation orders issued out to several hundred residents who lived in these low-lying areas. the problem is, this river goes downstream, it backs up all these other creeks and tributaries and causes the water to swell up and a lot of these communities and that will be the problem here for weeks. we spoke to some of these residents who were evacuating yesterday for the most part, they're taking it all in stride, but they know it's a long waiting game here. this process could take a month to dry out. >> we are fortunate we have what we have and we have an opportunity to get out. material things we can replace. our family and what we believe in daily is just -- can't put prices on that. >> did you put up this sign? >> yeah. i put it up. i'm proud of that sign. we will be back.
