Acadiana and all of South Louisiana should start to prepare for the threat of tropical weather for early next week.

Many of us have been through this before and we know of the necessities when it comes to preparing for a storm. Yes, we need batteries, water, flashlights, non-perishable food items, and even an evacuation plan.
