LULING, LA (WVUE) - Ahead of Tropical Storm Arthur, parish workers in St. Charles Parish closed floodgate at Sellers Canal as a precaution. Residents made their own preparations, including Zach Barton, who spent a part of Wednesday afternoon filling up sandbags to protect his new home in Luling. “I’m thinking 16 bags tops, enough to stack two high, and then I’ll go from there,” said Barton.
