Higher prices for flood insurance expected to wallop Louisiana

By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor

Good morning, Acadiana, and thank you for reading us today. We have the business news headlines for you this morning. You should catch up with the latest on the rising cost of flood insurance for homeowners across Louisiana. The sticker shock is serious: one man in St. Charles Parish learned his premium skyrocketed from $567 to $8,100 on a house that has never flooded. Homeowners will begin seeing their new premium prices next month.

Have a good day and see you back here tomorrow morning.
