HOUMA, La. (AP) - A 39-year-old man was killed as he was diconnecting a travel trailer from its power source at a camp in Montegut, according to his relatives and local authorities.

Police said Randall James Rhodes, of Houma, had been vacationing and repairing his storm-damaged camp in Montegut when he was electrocuted in the Sunday morning accident. Rhodes' wife said he was attempting to pull an extension cord that led to the camp. He was barefoot in a few inches of standing water and the cord was still connected to the camp, she said.
