Yes that area was hit with a lot of water. I live off 42 in Prairieville about 5 miles West of Fred"s / French Settlement and that place is under water. Luckily, where I am at the water is not bad at all in my sub division as of now. My brother lives near Runnels off of South Harrels Ferry Rd and as of about 10 last night water was coming up in has neighbor hood pretry fast. It was basically too high for him to drive out. Cell phone service seems to now be out in the BR area but not sure when it went down. I tried calling and texting. Leaving my house now to see if I can get there some kind of way.

The sun is actually out this morning at the moment.

Good luck and God Bless everyone.
