RAYNE, La. (KLFY)- Nykeesha Boudin said she and her family were evacuated from their residence after Saturday’s heavy rainfall caused high water to rush into their home.

This comes after the city of Rayne received seven to eight inches of rainfall–causing high water to also rush inside businesses, and forcing cars to stall or run off of the road.

Boudin, a single mom of four, said she nor her family have never experienced a flood as massive as this one.

“Never seen it, never went through it ever,” said Boudin. “This is crazy to me.”‘

Boudin said her home on American Legion Drive is completely flooded. She said her family lost most of their belongings in the flood.

“Me seeing it, it was horrifying, like with my kids especially, I don’t know how to feel, like I really lost everything, within hours,” said Boudin.

She explained that her and her family were stuck inside of their home until authorities were notified they needed to be rescued. Around 10 p.m. on Saturday, Boudin said the Coast Guard called the Acadia Parish Sheriff’s Office and boat carriers were able to safely evacuate them from their home.

She said her home is currently unlivable.

“It ain’t even about doing something because I’m grateful that me and my kids are here, but it’s just like everything I had planned, down the drain, my house, my hard, everything is just gone,” she said.

Boudin sends a message to homeowners to make sure they have insurance if they ever experience a natural disaster like this.

“Get insurance on your houses, especially if you have kids, because you can lose it all in a matter of hours and it will be nothing,” said Boudin.
