Caddo Lake Residents Told to Evacuate

EAST TEXAS — Residents around a popular Texas lake have been told to evacuate. Residents of Caddo Lake were told to leave their homes last week as flooding conditions on the lake continued to worsen. However, many residents did not heed that warning and chose to stay in their homes. During the weekend, power to areas near the lake was cut off for safety reasons. Harrison County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Jay Webb said the department spent all weekend evacuating people from their homes. He said residents who did not leave the lake are completely stranded.
