it is now a category 2 hurricane on the saffro Simpson scale with Peak Winds of 100 miles hour conditions are going to go downhill really rapidly over the next several hours hopefully if you're listening to us from Southern Louisiana you're already where you need to be for the overnight hours and just stay there flood watches and warnings are in effect over you can see so the darker uh green here is a flood watch I'll zoom out so you can see the greater extent flood watches in the brighter areas here of flood warnings that means it's all flooding is occurring or imminent so you can really see the flood warnings are starting to fill in and that will continue over the next several hours as these heavy bands move ashore also want to go back and show you that we also have a tornado watch here this is this red area that I've highlighted on the radar as these bands come ashore you can get these tornadoes to spin up bottom line is it's just the all hazards coming together here in Southern Louisiana and Alabama speaking of water hazards I want to stick with the water hazards and show you a storm surge warning a storm surge warning is still in effect for U Southern Louisiana around to uh uh Gulfport Mississippi um 5 to 10 ft
