Emergency crews plucked motorists from cars stranded by high water along a seven-mile stretch of the south Louisiana interstate, pulled others from inundated homes and waist-deep waters and were braced to continue the work on Sunday after conducting at least 2,000 rescues. SHARE Louisiana governor John Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency, calling the floods "unprecedented" and "historic".

Checks at the Queen of the Apostles parish confirmed the report as parishioners were shocked and surprised to learn of a petition to the Bishop of
