blown around. Strongly consider evacuating if you live in a
Mobile home... and do so if ordered by local officials.

Residents should move loose items indoors... such as garbage cans

tides are currently running around 2 feet above normal due to

and in areas around lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas from this

the coastal waters of Louisiana and Mississippi. Some non elevated

tidal flooding of property and perhaps some flooding of low lying
roads may occur during high tide.

... Inland flooding...
the Flood Watch has been cancelled. While heavy rain is still
expected... the threat of widespread inland flooding has
diminished.
