As if the site of floodwaters ripping through communities in southern Louisiana wasn’t eerie enough, the high waters have begun lifting graves from their final resting places. The flood appears to have dislodged the above-ground grave coverings at many of the region’s cemeteries, sending the enclosed caskets floating. Some of the affected cemeteries include the one at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Saint Amant; Springfield Cemetery in Springfield; St. Mark’s Cemetery in Walker; and East Ridge Cemetery in Welsh. The American Red Cross has billed the flooding as the worst disaster to hit the U.S. since Hurricane Sandy in 2012. See photos below of the floating graves:
