A levee broke and stranded about 30 students and teachers in the school and they had to sleepover in the building. The parents of those students tried the best they can to come and pick them up however, the floods were just too high forcing the students to stay put. Cots were set up in the schools gym and everyone stranded received great care and shelter. Two homes in the same neighborhood however, got flooded to the point where they had to evacuate in order to stay safe. The highway was closed till about 8 pm and some streets were not opened until after midnight. The heavy storm continued throughout the night knocking over a tree into a powerline resulting in the loss of electricity for people of that neighborhood. Fortunately there was no fatalities or injuries which is always a good sign. The floods slowly went away and highways and streets are operating at normal rates.
