On the other side of Butte LaRose's main street, Russell Calais nursed a beer as his family loaded all his belongings into moving trucks. Affectionately described by one of his daughters as "a typical bull-headed Cajun," he didn't know they would be coming to evacuate him and his wife, Judy.
"We didn't give him an option," said his daughter, Konie Calais Heard of Lafayette.
Calais said he had planned to wait until the floodwaters rose high enough to float his homemade boat, so he could patrol the neighborhood and protect his property.
"I made up my mind I wasn't going to leave," he said. "After I sat down and drank about 10 or 12 Coors, I said, 'Well, it's time.'"

I didn't post the original. The edit was due to the old Justin Wilson skit about the mama crawfish running in fear, telling her babies:
"Run for your lives! That's a Cajun, and he'll eat any damn thing!"
"Run for your lives! That's a Cajun, and he'll eat any damn thing!"
