'Unprecedented' flooding slams Gulf Coast
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards says people around the U.S. are just starting to pay attention to the extent of flooding that killed at least 13 people in the state. Edwards tells CNN’s “State of the Nation” on Sunday that the disaster has received less attention because it wasn’t a hurricane or named storm. Edwards, a Democrat who took office this year, says he suggested to President Barack Obama and presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett that they delay a trip to Louisiana until the initial disaster response was over and recovery efforts had started. Obama is traveling to Baton Rouge on Tuesday. (AP) See more news-related photo galleries and follow us on Yahoo News Photo Tumblr.
