Elizabeth Stevens described the moments before Tropical Storm Francine made landfall in New Orleans, illustrating a sea of anxiety faced by residents with memories of past traumas. 'There's floodwaters around my house, I can't get out to see anything... I'm hoping by morning it will start going down,' she shared, emphasizing her fear and isolation as she secured her home against the incoming danger.
Meteorologist Christopher Bannan commented on the impact of persistent rainfall on New Orleans' drainage capabilities, stating, 'We definitely had quite a bit of rain in some areas that just couldn't handle the rain, like New Orleans, because they have to pump their water out.' His insights underscore the city's ongoing struggle to manage flooding despite previous experiences with major storms.
