Authorities say that water is overtopping a levee in lower Plaquemines Parish.
An emergency contractor has been contacted after water began overtopping a levee in Plaquemines Parish early Saturday morning. The levee is located in the Myrtle Groves and Pointe Celeste areas.

While much of Plaquemines Parish has been under an evacuation order since Thursday, Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser says that anyone who remains should evacuate.
