IBERIA PARISH, LA (KLFY) — Residents are experiencing déjà vu as this is the second time in just a few weeks that Iberia Parish has been impacted by flooding waters and residents are growing weary of the repercussions.

The heavy rainstorm blew through a lot of Acadiana especially in Iberia Parish. Multiple roads in the parish were deemed impassable with multiple inches and in some areas feet of water building up.

Rocky Gros is a resident over Iberia parish along Hazard Road. He said it floods along his street every time it rains.

“(You got) cars stuck in the water here, and they are getting towed out. It’s the same thing over and over.” Gros said.

Both Gros and other residents along Hazard Road are growing frustrated. They understand while mother nature is a big factor, something still needs to be done before it’s too late.

“It floods everybody’s yards,” said Gros. “You call for help and nobody tries to fix it.”

Willis Touchet has been living at his house on Hazard Road for over 40 years.

“I was talking to my wife about that. We might have to move. ” Touchet said.

To stay up to date on the weather and road closures, be sure to stay tuned to both Iberia Parish Government Facebook page and KLFY.com for details.
