Wind-driven rain for about the last 4 hours. Minor street flooding due to rain.

I lost power about ten times over the last hour. It comes back on right away.

This is a fast moving storm, about 25 mph, so the eye will be over metro New Orleans very shortly.

The rain is supposed to be north of us in about 4 hours.

Just heard on local news that the storm is weakening.

The wind and rain suddenly stopped. And I still have power, though there are lots of reports of outages.

The back side of the storm shouldn’t be so bad.

in the southern part of the storm.

I suspect the wind will pick up again, but the worst of the rain is north of us.

Watch out folks in Mississippi!

and headed your way. My suspicion is that oncoming cold air has a lot to do with the eyewall not closing off on radar.
