Despite downed power lines, flash floods threats, high winds, and other hazards, it was clear by Twitter posts during the night that people were out rescuing neighbors, putting out the word to wave flashlights if people needed help.

Team has made it to LaPlace and is commencing rescues ASAP 🙌
We are starting with known addresses where someone is in the attic, then going door-by-door.
I'm not going to search for the post I saw last night, but it was I believe a National Weather Service tweet telling people it was too dangerous for them to be out in the dark.
Along these lines. Telling the Cajun Navy they're "exploring"!

Please remain sheltered in place. Although you may be tempted to go explore, conditions are still very dangerous. KEEP AWAY FROM ALL DOWNED UTILITY LINES-- EVEN THE TINY ONES!
Don't put yourself at risk. Stay home. Stay home. Stay home. https://twitter.com/NewOrleansEMS/status/1432325435296296962?s=20
Agreed. A couple examples of damage that needs no exaggeration. Pics at Twitter link.

Here's some short drone footage of part of what's going to keep the power out for who knows how long.
