IN TODAY'S SENTINEL -- WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2008
• DESPITE GUSTAV'S FURY, NOT AN INJURY OR DEATH RECORDED IN CONCORDIA
Most of Concordia Parish and surrounding areas were in pitch black Monday night during one of the worst storms to hit this region in decades. Flashlights, the flames from gas stoves, candles, lanterns, automobile headlights and the glow of cell phones were about the only means of light in Concordia for hours. Power lines and poles were brought down by high winds and falling limbs and trees.
A spokesman for the National Weather Service (NWS) at Jackson, Miss., said maximum wind gusts of from 60 to 70 miles per hour were clocked in Concordia Parish when the eye wall passed nearby Monday and Tuesday. The Wildsville and Monterey areas of Concordia were the hardest hit, most parish officials agree, though not a community in the parish escaped damage.
In spite of it all, not a injury or a death was reported locally as the storm moved through.
• STORM POUNDS CATAHOULA -- 11 INCHES OF RAIN RECORDED IN JONESVILLE IN 24-HOUR PERIOD
The remnants of Hurricane Gustav dropped 11 inches of rain in Jonesville during a 24-hour period ending Wednesday morning and a total of 19 inches since Sunday. In some areas of Catahoula Parish, rainfall may have totaled two feet. The torrents flooded parts of the parish, particularly Jonesville, where 100 or more homes were flooded and rescue efforts launched to get residents to safety. |
