the dirty side of the storm. new orleans has, by far, seen the worst of this storm along with their friends all the way down here along the plaquemines parish, the pretty rural areas down there. so far about 4 1/2 inches of rain to as much as 7 1/2 inches of rain. so those pumps are working overtime. this is a big test for them. so far, so good, but they still have to go probably another 12 to 24 hours of all of this rain. flash flood warnings, that s who s been hit the hardest. surge problems in this next high tide cycle. probably shouldn t be as bad as the last one, but we ll still see water issues. these winds, 74-mile-per-hour gusts, a hurricane-force gust, we just saw it this hour in new orleans. i think the worst weather we ll see in new orleans throughout the storm is happening right now as we speak. so the most damage is probably being done now, too. thanks so much. i know you ll keep an eye on this. check back in with you in just a
