Some gustinginds and weve seen that throughout the evening. Weve seen rain as well, but thankfully none at this point. We do know conditions are going to intensify over the next several hours and continue for the next couple of days, a very slowoving storm. Wind is going to be an issue, but its the water thats the biggest deal. Flooding is a major concern for is entire rion. Ja a lot of new orleans, we know, is below sea level. Theres a maze of canals and pumping stations that are supposed to move t water out of the city. Are they ready . Reporter yeah, they are ready. Theyre online. 118 of the 120 turbine and pumps are working and should do what theyre supposed to do. Like you talk about, most of this area is below sea level. Getting a good st there.

They know theyr going to hav standing water. Theyre urging people to be really respectful of that, wait until it clears aw until you get out and take a look. They are hurricane veterans down there. Do you get a sense they are taking these orders eriously . Reporter i think for the most part everyone is. The streets have been relatively clear.

Theyve got supplies, me fuel, everything theyll need for three, maybe four days. They could be spending that time without electricity. I think theyre ready. Heres hoping those levees hold. Be careful, jay. Well check back with you later on. Im remembering with hurricane katrina, remember the first night, it was everything is going to be okay. Wasnt until into the next day when we really found out how bad it was. Obviously katrina was devastating. Words cant really describe that.

With barry i sl about the water thatsng falli it doesnt matter that its onlo a tropical srm. That really doesnt make a. Difference you dont want to get hung up on the its a Tropical Storm or hurricane because louisiana is dealing with swollen rivers already, youre dealing with up 20 inches of rain and water coming in from the ocean. Heres the radar showingba y. Its a disorganized storm. It doesnt look like that classic beautiful hurricane thats textbook style. The critical level for the Mississippi River in new orlea hat you did not want that river to hit, 20 feet, the army corps of engineers national Weather Service now thinking the river is going to top out at 17 feet.
