Curfew in Effect

Curfew in Evangeline Parish tonight

August 13, 2016

 

     Evangeline Parish Police Jury President Ryan Ardoin has issued a curfew for all of Evangeline Parish beginning tonight at 6:00pm until 6;00am. Once the curfew goes into effect tonight, no one will be permitted to be driving anywhere in the city or parish. All businesses must be closed during the curfew time. This is in effect due to the extensive flooding the Ville Platte/Evangeline Parish area has received. We have reports of more than 12 inches of rain has fallen flooding numerous homes and businesses as well as stranding many vehicles. Many of the city streets were impassible earlier today because of the high water. The water has receded because it has stopped raining. However, officials from the National Weather Service are predicting an additional 3-6 inches of rain later today through Sunday. Sand bags are available at the city barn on Hickory and at the police jury yard at the Industrial Park.
