Jefferson Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng noted some swamplands had flooded and dangers were real for first responders and those living in the area.
"This is an area that has a lot of swampland, alligators, very dangerous conditions," she said Monday on CNN, noting first responders had to wait for daylight to survey the area and rescue anyone needing help.
She added some areas saw flooding that was "beyond chest high. It's up to the top of the roof."
