Tropical Storm Nicholas has got its eye on Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana over the next couple of days. Forecasters are calling for heavy heavy rain with some areas getting 5 to 10 inches or some isolated areas as much as 20 inches of rain.

Calcasieu Parish officials, the Police Jury, and the OEP held a press conference to inform the public about their response to the upcoming storm. All the agencies advise that they are prepared with high water vehicles, boats, and staff on hand to respond to any emergencies.
