A video of a large military helicopter lifting "super sandbags" was posted on Facebook and the sand bags are reportedly being used to prevent a levee breach near Gueydan. 

According to Timala Melacon, who posted this video, the breach is near Pure Oil Camp. A photo from above shows what appears to be levee breach, and that's where the huge bags are reportedly being placed.

If you recall, these are the same white bags used in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina when levees broke around the city.

We did speak to officials in Vermillion Parish and they confirm that this operation is currently underway. We will continue to follow this developing story from Vermillion Parish.
