As you know from my previous post, Barry was expected to make landfall no later than 7 a.m. this morning. As of 10:00 this morning, Tropical Storm Barry is still churning in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana. This location is bringing bands of rain to the coast of Louisiana and the Biloxi-Gulfport area of Mississippi. They are still forecasting up to 20 inches of rain in some areas. We will have steady rain once this storm hits land through Monday and possibly Tuesday. We are just watching the weather and thankful that we are not in an area that has been impacted by the high winds and already have lost electricity. Photo: Pixaby, Public Domain

I've been watching it on the news. It will be a very bad storm and hope it stays away from you. Stay safe and smart.

Hoping we don't get as much rain as they think we will. I don't want to deal with another flooded house (home in LA) or my mom's being flooded again. We are set to get my mom moved back in hers next week.

The wind isn't bad and will be Cat 1 (or expected to be) at landfall. It's the rain it is bringing that will cause all the damage here with flooding.

NO, it does not mean we are safe. Anywhere in the outer bands, heavy rain will be hitting causing flash flooding and rivers to possibly flood in a couple of days as the rivers rise. Also, tornadoes are possible all night tonight and tomorrow as the storms that are spawned from the hurricane move through.

@kareng This is true. I forgot about the tornadoes that inevitably come with these treacherous storms.

It wasn't projected to make landfall anywhere near my house in LA. It was several hundred miles away. It's the rainfall that was the worry as the rivers are all at floodstage already before this storm hit.

@Nakitakona By boat or airlift. It depends on the area and situation.

@kareng That's dangerous. How does your government evacuate the people who are in danger?

Yes, he got his name right before landfall. We have rain and thunderstorms tonight and again tomorrow. Hopefully, we won't have any tornadoes near us. We had a lot of warnings today.

We are in the outer band and are supposed to have bad weather tonight and more rain tomorrow. We are under a flash flood watch, even here in MS. This is a big storm, the outer bands reach out hundreds of miles and covers several states.
