Residents of Louisiana felt the full brunt of Tropical Storm Barry's rainfall overnight as they woke to find localized flooding and tens of thousands without power across the state.
"A big risk of major flooding in large parts of Louisiana and all across the Gulf Coast," he wrote."Please be very careful!"
