A group of men, or Gary Chambers, was seen fleeing the scene, slowly.

This seems like a related article from 2 days ago:

Sandbags surround nearly every house in Bayou Pigeon as the Lower Grand River has poured over its banks and, in some instances, into homes. The community in Iberville Parish is used to some water rising over the banks and into the streets but it almost never gets high enough to get inside houses. “This is the second time I’ve sandbagged my house and I’ve been in this house for 10, 15 years,” said Brian Vaughn.

Residents around Bayou Pigeon say they have raised concerns about flooding for years, asking for parish and state officials to find a way to keep the waters from rising enough to get into homes but Vaughn said those concerns have fallen on deaf ears. “They’ve been talking 20 years about putting a pump station up there at the locks to pump the water back into the spillway and you wouldn’t have this but nothing is getting done. I don’t know if the senator can get the ball rolling, I don’t know if the Corps of Engineers can get the ball rolling on it, I don’t know if the governor can get the ball rolling but something has to happen. Homes are getting flooded and people’s property is getting destroyed,” Vaughn explained.

Doesn't sound like it will be a huge issue. It is already being repaired and only a few hundred houses are being asked to evacuate.

What is a bayou pigeon?
Also what’s the difference between an aqua dam and a damn dam?

Who would have thought that a place in the middle of a swamp would flood?

Guess I can’t launch at Jack Miller’s and fish Pats Bay tomorrow
