levee

“There are three ways that Louisiana can flood: storm surge, high rivers and rain,” Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said. “We’re going to have all three.”

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards warned that there could be “a considerable amount of overtopping” of levees.

Jean Lafitte is a coastal town in southern Louisiana. Because of Louisiana's rising coastline and the increased frequency of major storms the people of Jean Lafitte have become accustomed to regular flooding. But despite the continued flooding, residents continue to rebuild time after time.
