Residents in Texas, Louisiana and other states along the Gulf Coast and South Central U.S. continued to feel the impact of dangerous flooding and severe weather conditions.
In a news conference on Tuesday with Gov. John Bel Edwards and Louisiana State Police, authorities told reporters that the bodies of 33-year-old Justin Blaine Thompson and 40-year-old Alvarado Morentes Hermelindo had been recovered and another person was missing. Thompson's body was found in a stranded vehicle that became trapped by rising floodwaters; Hermelindo was found dead after his car crashed into a canal Monday. Edwards also reported that two additional deaths had been linked to Baton Rouge power outages and that tens of thousands had lost power in the state by Tuesday morning, according to local station WBRZ.More Related News
