The National Weather Service says the Concordia Parish town of Clayton got 7.2 inches of rain Wednesday and Thursday.
Mayor Rydell Taylor says the town of 700 looks like a lake, and water got into six to 10 homes. Taylor says a waterworks employee carried about a dozen children across flooded yards to their school bus, and he himself carried a disabled woman to the bus that takes her to work.
Taylor says nobody has been hurt, and water levels were dropping by late Thursday morning.
