With landfall hours away, Tropical Storm Barry was already lashing the southern coast of Louisiana with wind and heavy rain.
Hurricane warnings, tropical storm warnings, flash flood watches and tropical storm watches have been issued for parts of the Gulf Coast as Barry comes closer to the shoreline. "So we're hoping that we get some heavy rain, that it stops and lets us catch up, and we're ready for the next batch," he added."But if we get five, six hours in a row that dumps double digits on us then we're gonna have some water that's close to houses."
There won't be much movement overnight into Sunday with heavy rain still falling over southeast Louisiana and southwest Mississippi.
