Thousands continue to cope with the devastation caused by floodwaters in southern Louisiana. The flooding has also wreaked havoc on highways. Interstate 10 westbound remained closed Wednesday and Louisiana State Police told The Weather Channel today that more than 100 vehicles were stranded on I-12.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announced Friday that a state of emergency was declared in Louisiana because of the flooding. The declaration triggers the temporary suspension of certain federal safety regulations, including hours of service, for motor carriers and drivers engaged in specific aspects of the emergency relief effort. The declaration expires on Sept. 10.
