Disaster: A mansion sits surrounded by murky floodwater, its front glass doors only half-visible, in Bossier City, northwest Louisiana

Its so appalling! These photos show the devastating effect of flooding in rural northwest Louisiana following storms in neighboring Oklahoma and Texas


The storms, which killed at least 31 in total, have overwhelmed the region's Red River, forcing many residents to evacuate their homes.

Others have been left desperately trying to keep out the encroaching floodwater, while hundreds of buildings have had their power cut off. The disaster has prompted officials to recruit inmates from nearby prison to unload and distribute sand bags in the area.


About 15 of the flooded houses are in subdivision where property prices range from $400,000 to nearly $1 million. Caddo Parish Sheriff Steve Prato's two pet burros drowned in the floodwater after bolting from his home in fear. See more photos below...
