Avoyelles Parish in Louisiana is experiencing severe flooding after heavy rainfall, with homes and roads submerged. Local officials cut a ramp to drain water, but areas like Plaucheville remain heavily affected. Resident Avery Moses, whose home requires a boat to access, expressed frustration over the lack of flood insurance and delayed drainage.

Tropical Storm Arthur's remnants caused severe flash flooding in the New Orleans metro and southeastern Louisiana, with rainfall rates exceeding 3 inches per hour and 8 inches recorded at New Orleans International Airport. Flooding extended to areas like Houma, Thibodaux, and Slidell, while the National Weather Service issued a high flood risk for parts of Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida as Arthur's remnants moved inland.
