In my 28 years in law enforcement I have never seen the interstate closed, St. Landry Sheriff's Capt. Jimmy Darbonne told weather.com. Dozens of homes in Carencro, a town in Lafayette Parish, were evacuated on Monday when some 15 inches of rain fell within five hours.We had up to 7 feet of water on some streets, said Capt. Kip Judice, the local sheriff's spokesman.We had no deaths or injuries but a lot of near calls..nd while 15 inches in five hours is a lot by any standard, it's still far short of any record.
