-BREAKING NEWS-

NEW ORLEANS — As expected, Tropical Storm Cindy has formed in the Gulf of Mexico. Flash flooding, tornadoes and other hazards could arise.

The storm is expected to bring anywhere from 3-12 inches of rain to the greater New Orleans area, with coastal flooding likely due to storm surges.

It’s expected to make landfall today. Although the cone of the storm is heading toward Acadiana, officials warn that the impacts of the storm will be felt hundreds of miles on both sides of the cone.
