Summary
Multiple water rescues were underway Monday in Bossier Parish and on Caddo Street and North Common, with first responders also pulling an adult and a child from a flooded car in Caddo Parish.
Heavy rain from a storm system swamped the Shreveport-Bossier metro area, closing roads and causing flash flooding from Highway 80 in Eastwood to Hamilton Drive in Bossier City and routes near Benton and Florien.
Water entered homes on Pennsylvania Avenue in Shreveport's Broadmoor subdivision and flooded buildings on the North Market Street campus of Northwest Louisiana Technical Community College.
The flooding worsened conditions reported earlier in the day, when emergency crews were already responding to stranded cars, hydroplaning incidents and a confirmed water rescue in Shreveport.
