Most predictions direct the storm toward southeast Louisiana, with New Orleans well within the probability zone.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu declared a state of emergency Thursday (Oct. 5) in advance of Tropical Storm, which is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane by the time it impacts the Gulf Coast.
“To the citizens of New Orleans, there is no reason to panic, but there is reason to prepare,” Landrieu said.
The mayor shared an update from the Sewerage & Water Board along with other preparations taking place. Watch it here.
