Floodwaters have topped the levee at Brouillette and parish officials are calling for a mandatory evacuation of residents there while a voluntary evacuation has been ordered for residents in Vick.

Farm workers at the Red River Waterway’s Ben Routh Recreation Area in Vick use an excavator to fill large sacks with sand which in turn will be strategically placed in key areas to hold back a rising Red River.
