As lake waters poured onto the shores of Lake Pontchartrain, Mandeville Fire/EMS was called in to rescue people staying at the waterfront cabins at Fountainebleau State Park. The first responders shared dramatic photos and video of the rescue.
They also tweeted that "10 people were rescued by members of our water rescue team. An additional 19 people were evacuated from their cabins by state park employees."
I stayed at those cabins less than a month ago and they are so beautiful. I'm thrilled it appears nobody was hurt and hope they are able to make repairs soon to such a wonderful spot.
Thank you to the staff at Fontainebleau State Park and the Mandeville Fire/EMS team for being there to save lives today!!!
