BATON ROUGE — As heavy rain and storms move through the area, several vehicles have been abandoned or stalled on Baton Rouge roadways due to the high water levels.

According to the city of Baton Rouge's Traffic Incident website, at least nine vehicles have been abandoned or stalled in the area. 

The St. George Fire Department shared a post highlighting areas with high water levels that are creating issues for vehicles, including Blubonnet Boulevard at North Oak Hills Parkway, Coursey Boulevard between Shadeland and Sherwood Forest, Sherwood Common Boulevard at Airline Highway and Jefferson Highway at McCaroll Drive. 

A video sent to WBRZ shows several vehicles near LSU's campus submerged in rainwater, with water reaching up to the hoods. 

Flooding has also been reported in Livingston Parish, with the closure of Hood Road and Eden Church Road. The Livingston Parish government announced that crews are out monitoring roadways and culverts to keep water in the area moving.

In addition to the weather affecting roadways, power outages have been reported in several areas across the capital region.

According to Entergy, about 2,360 residents in Livingston Parish are currently without power, followed closely by East Baton Rouge Parish, which has nearly 2,000 residents in the dark. 

The Town of Livingston released a statement that read, "We are aware many residents in the Town of Livingston and outskirts lost power this morning. We are communicating with Entergy at this time. There is currently no estimated time of repair but they are on scene with CN railroad working on the issue."

Entergy said a fallen tree damaged a conductor in the area. They are currently working with crews to resolve the issue.
