KENTWOOD, LA - AUGUST 30: April Holloway carries her children to a flood shelter in a high school gym on August 30, 2012 in Kentwood, Louisiana. Local residents evacuated to the shelter after officials announced that a dam upstream in Mississippi was in danger of bursting due to rains from Isaac. Tens of thousands of people along the Tangipahoain River were asked to evacuate the area due to the high flood risk. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
