Parish President Billy Nungesser said that the Braithwaite Levee is overtopping and that any residents that are staying there need to get out now.
In an urgent message, he said that officials are sandbagging, but he doesn't think that officials can stop the water. Nungesser said that people in White Ditch, Scarsdale and other area towns needed to evacuate immediately.
Residents were advised to take the Mississippi River levee toward St. Bernard to get to safety.
