Feast or Famine...

The rainfall the past two days depended on your location.  Either you were swamped or you stayed dry.  These pictures were from Capt. Hylton Petit's street in Destrehan Sunday afternoon.  He had 6.6" in 2 hours!





He had another 1.50" today with a 2 day total of 8.1".   MSY finally got in on the action this morning with over an inch after getting nothing yesterday.   The heaviest rains have stayed mainly to our NW today and activity has been diminishing on radar.




We have a stalled old frontal boundary stretching from Texas to Georgia with several swirls of low pressure moving along it.  Until that boundary lifts away or dissipates, our rain chances will stay way above normal with the threat for more flooding.


NHC is indicating the swirl over Georgia could become our next named storm (Fay) later this week off the Carolina coast.
In case you're wondering what happened to the "E" storm, NHC did name it way out in the Atlantic as it races over open water.  Stayed tuned!
