Hurricane Harvey Louisiana: Watch Streets Flood In Vinton

VINTON, LA — New video shows streets flooding in Calcasieu Parish as the last bits of Hurricane Harvey weaken over the southwestern part of the state.

Fields and roads flooded around the town of Vinton, though few homes appear to be flooded, the Associated Press reported.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for western Calcasieu Parish — as well as western Beauregard Parish and Vernon Parish — until 2:15 p.m. Central time.

Calcasieu Parish government offices were closed Wednesday.

Officials said on the parish's website that many roads are "impassable, especially in east Lake Charles."

Parish officials "will re-evaluate the situation on Wednesday afternoon before deciding on any further closures."

Waste Management put trash collection services on hold Wednesday and plans to resume services Thursday. Some customers’ trash might not be picked up this week.
