10/9/2010 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The Ouachita Parish Police Jury (i.e. - county commissioners) have issued a parish-wide (county-wide) burn ban. Extremely dry here and no rain forecast for the next week. I can't believe I'm wishing this on a state that's suffered from Katrina and Rita, but a nice soaking tropical depression or storm would be a welcome relief.
