Anyone live in Lafayette, Louisiana near the college?

Is there bad flooding/evacuations/etc. going on? Is the water even there?

I am from Pennsylvania and will be going to University of Louisiana at Lafayette this coming fall. My family is worried about my safety because of reports on the news about severe flooding in Louisiana. I do not want this to be a reason why I should not go. Is this area being affected or likely to be? I regularly check the weather for this area and I see no flood warnings.

    no need to worry, if you look on a map, the "natural" Mississippi river levee begins around Breaux Bridge, La and gets higher going west. No flooding here!! Thankfully! check out our local news station web site: KATC.com They are on facebook also. Very family oriented town; great University. oh and if you want a taste of levee life watch swamp people on History Channel--can't get any more real than dat!
