Image of the Week

Our image this week is of the Louisiana National Guard, who
deployed over 1,200
soldiers for search and rescue missions after numerous parishes issued a
state of emergency due to intense flooding. On Sunday, the extreme weather
event reached the federal level as President
Obama declared it a major disaster and requested Federal aid for the
recovery efforts of 4 parishes. The unprecedented heavy rains are predicted to
continue, but it is unknown when they will stop and how much damage they will ultimately
cause.
