We are going to be in this weather pattern for the next 24 hours. #Beta is moving very slowly at 2mph. The rain bands are producing 2-3 inches of rain.
You can help us out by just staying home. We've had several high water rescues already. Please don't drive into high water. #TurnAroundDontDrown
We do expect these rain bands to intensify tonight, so please stay off the roads.
We are monitoring freeways like 288 and shutting them down as needed. #Beta
Barricades are up at 70 locations throughout the city. Do NOT drive around them.
We've had street flooding in the south part of the city. Water canes out of the banks of the Keegans Bayou last night. We have not received any reports of buildings being flooded. #Beta
