Rising waters in Baton Rouge cause road closures, dangerous driving conditions

BATON ROUGE - Heavy rains turned streets into lakes Sunday night around the WBRZ viewing area. The entire area is under an areal flooding warning until 10:30 p.m. Sunday. That means the gradual rain fall we have seen through the weekend has built up, and it is starting to overflow.

News Two has recieved many reports of accidents and rising waters in residential areas. Please keep this in mind as you plan out the rest of your night.



Right now, all schools in the area remain open tomorrow.
