Two males went into the water to help the 12-year-olds. One of the adult males was able to get out of the water, but the second male, said to be approximately 22 years old was unfortunately not a very good swimmer and was sucked under the water, officials said. Officials said their dive team was coming out to see if they can put a diver in the water. However, it might not be possible due to the strong currents.
Police are advising everyone, children and adults, to stay away from the bayous when the water is up due to the rain as it's very dangerous for everyone.
