It will drain on time for festival to start at 5. I’m off today, so I’m going volunteer to help clean up as much as possible. A lot of the business may be screwed. I saw Pops poboy was flooded bad! This sucks.

The water is already gone and it doesn't start until 5pm today so they should have plenty of time to get things cleaned up, I would be quite surprised if there's any delays at all.

Yeah but if someone slips and falls we could be looking at a large lawsuit. May be best to cancel and keep everyone safe.

If they don’t cancel out of an abundance of caution, they should definitely require Vax cards and masks to attend.

No telling how many filthy hippie’s lives will be saved by the masks.

Every road in Broussard is under water. It’s a pain trying to get to work.

Just thank God it did not rain during the festival. Just think the BO after the rain stops.
Instead of washing it away it just marinates.

well the houses off Morgan Ave back towards Fairfield's Ave must be flooded too. I will never understand how they let all those houses get built without elevated house pads and one small two-lane road to handle the traffic.
