As of 10am Saturday morning, Tropical Storm Barry registered hurricane force winds and was officially designated a Hurricane. Barry is the second named storm of the 2019 hurricane season.
Hurricane Barry is expected to dump 10 to 15 inches of rain on New Orleans with 20 inches possible in some areas.
Louisiana has declared a state-wide emergency with the possibility of wide-spread heavy rains and coastal flooding.
The Louisiana governor encouraged state residents to check their emergency supplies in order to be ready for the incoming storm.
“Additionally, mandatory evacuations were issued for parts of Louisiana on Thursday, specifically in Plaquemines Parish. As of Thursday morning, 8,000 to 10,000 local residents were under a mandatory evacuation order, spokeswoman Jade Duplessis said.” (source)
Over 72,000 customers are without power in Louisiana already and flooding has begun in earnest in the Terrebonne Parish area, with some residents being rescued by the Coast Guard Saturday morning. (source)
We pray for the safety of all in Barry’s path.
