In-laws live on Salisbury drive near Avalon. Lost contact with them 4 hours ago and was told i couldnt make it there from Thibodaux. Water as in the neighbors house but not in theirs yet. They are elderly.
If you are in the area and can go by please let me know and i will provide contact info

1550 Salisbury drive is their address
Their cell phones arent working but mine is 985-665-4375

UPDATE: got a boat to them. No water although it did come close. No power. Running generator. They are elderly so they didn't know to plug in router to generator. Still don't want to leave.
Thanks everyone for offering to help.

Great info. I was there all day. Have a Red Cross shelter shift I'm about to head to.

I'm texting a friend in the area with his boat.

Sent him your post and a map to this house.

His name is Shawn. Not sure he is still there. He has your number.

Map to this house if anyone is in area. Very easy to get to with boat or kayak. You could likely walk to it.

Is Harrell's Ferry still open? I was there around noon and it was getting pretty bad.

The police let anyone pulling boats through the road block that detours 1-12 down airline hwy. you could exit millervilel and launch in front of target/ chick fil a. There's a process to launch in place.

They were launching boats off the south side of the road near Jones Creek. I would imagine the creek is over the bridge by now.
