Fox News
A U.S. Coast Guard search got underway Tuesday after a report of "multiple people in the water" off Grand Isle, Louisiana, according to reports.
By 9 p.m., six people had been rescued, Coast Guard spokesman Jonathan Lally told WAFB-TV of Baton Rouge. "Currently we have multiple Coast Guard assets as well as Good Samaritan vessels searching for people off of a capsized lift vessel," Lally told the station. Stormy conditions and wind gusts of 75 mph caused rough waters in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in at least one boat capsizing, FOX 8 of New Orleans reported.More Related News
