Louisiana flood did more than $8 billion in damage


(Worthy News) – The Louisiana floods last month caused a $8.7 billion in damage, a number that is expected to increase as officials continue to take stock of the damage, Gov. John Bel Edwards announced this week.

Edwards’ office revealed the estimated cost of the flooding damage Saturday when it released a copy of a letter the governor sent President Obama earlier this week.

The governor’s letter to Obama asked for a “very reasonable” $2 billion in federal aid, and said it would be the bare minimum necessary to help the state recover from a flood that claimed the lives of 13 Louisianans. [ Source ]
