New Orleans Leaders give weather update. The flood clock remains effective

New Orleans Leaders give weather update. The flood clock remains effective

Here in New Orleans there is a standing water in flood areas because we are always rain heavily all Thursday. That is when we prepare for more rain until the weekend. The WDSU reporter Shay O'Connor was on chef and downman in New Orleans East, where there were considerable floods. The managers said that the risk of a storm was a good test run because we are still in the hurricane season. Alisha Fuitha-Mercadel, a resident of New Orleans East, said: “As soon as you hear storm; when you hear golf, you will become nervous because you don't know what will happen.” While she does not let her guard down, she is relieved that the tropical rain has not caused any widespread problems. “It is a big sigh of relief. You can let your hair down. Cross your fingers that something else will not come with you next week,” said Foucha-Mercadel. Samynthia Thomas said that for her that she deals with her car. “That made me find someone who repairs my brakes. If I have to go, I need to repair my breaks,” said Steve Nelson from Thomas. He said that the two turbines that have dropped for some time now work. Nelson said: “Turbine 6 is online again. We are not running now because we have electricity. Turbine 4 has been running since yesterday morning. So we know that devices work for ourselves when another event is of some kind.” Sixted 93 pumps are with several works, including maintenance. A turn could turn at this time of year. “The hurricane season is always a scary time for us, especially if you look back on Katrina,” said Foucha-Mercadel. Officials said that now it was still a good time to remember to clean their gutters and secure their trash cans. Also to buy these important essentials such as water and canned goods. You may also want to keep a full gas container if you have to evacuate.

Here in New Orleans there is a standing water in flood areas because we have seen rain heavily all Thursday.

That is when we prepare for more rain into the weekend. The WDSU reporter Shay O'Connor was on chef and downman in New Orleans East, where there were considerable floods.

The managers said that the risk of a storm was a good test run because we are still in the hurricane season.

Alisha Fuitha-Mercadel, a resident of New Orleans East, said: “As soon as you hear storm; when you hear golf, you will become nervous because you don't know what will happen.”

Foucha-Mercadel said that she had the forecast exactly. While she does not let her guard down, she is relieved that the tropical rain has not caused any widespread problems.

“It is a big sigh of relief. You can let your hair disappoint. Cross your fingers that something else will not come with you next week,” said Foucha-Mercadel.

In the meantime in Uptown New Orleans, some families said that this tropical storm was a good memory that we are in the hurricane season. Samynthia Thomas said that for her that she deals with her car.

“That made me find someone who repairs my brakes. If I have to go, I need to repair my breaks,” said Thomas.

Steve Nelson, Steve Nelson of New Orleans, provided a crucial update while maintaining this tropical system. He said that the two turbines that have dropped for some time now work.

Nelson said: “Turbine 6 is available online again. We do not carry it out now because we have electricity. Turbine 4 has been running since yesterday morning. So we know that the equipment works for us at another event.”

Sixthy of 93 pumps are processed with several, including some maintenance by New Orleans East and the Gentilly area.

For residents such as Foucha-Mercadel, the threat, even small, only makes reality that things could take a turn at this time of the season.

“The hurricane season is always a scary time for us, especially if you look back on Katrina,” said Foucha-Mercadel.

Officials said that now it was still a good time to remember to clean their gutters and secure their trash cans. Also to buy these important essentials such as water and canned goods. You may also want to keep a full gas container if you have to evacuate.
