  1. The "high risk" is for excessive rainfall that can lead to flash flooding. While the areas north look to receive a bit more in the way of total precip, the precip rates in SEPA will be MUCH higher as they occur over a much shorter time frame. Thus....high risk for flash flooding
  2. Winds out of the SW in Laplace should help push the lake water out.
  3. Problem right now is the apparent complete stall of eye right now. The moisture feed into NO is still strong. Winds have dropped a bit, but yes, freshwater flooding doesn’t look good.
  4. This is awful and will take some time rectify no doubt
  5. Obviously if the heavy rains keep filling in around NO I’ll agree they are certainly not out of the woods from flooding rainfall
  6. Maybe. I just look at the radar and the reduction in stronger returns coming in from south of NO.
  7. From Entergy re. The outage: A company spokesperson said the storm had caused a "load imbalance to the company’s transmission and generation" and that Entergy is "making every effort to identify and rectify."
  8. It’s a “catastrophic” transmission issue so I’d say perhaps major damage to main substation and/or massive downing of high tension transmission lines.
  9. The heaviest rain is over as well. Will they have several hours of additional heavy rainfall? Sure. But the NE quadrant of the eyewall has pushed north of the city.
  10. I’m sorry. All of NO has seen the worst of the storm as the eye wall is moving away to its NW.
  11. Actually I expect, based on eye position and radar, downtown NO has indeed already seen the worst.
  12. I believe that there are automatic shut off valves for such an occurrence
