WASHINGTON (AP) - Donald Trump will tour the flood damage in ravaged Louisiana Friday.

A campaign official familiar with the plans says the GOP nominee and his running mate Mike Pence will travel to the state on Friday.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the plans before they were officially announced.

At least 13 people have died as a result of the flooding, and at one point 11,000 were in shelters.

Trump said at a rally Thursday that his prayers are with the people affected.
