June 10, 2020 More than three inches of rain fell in about an hour.
That's more than the pumps can handle.
How hard did in rain in New Orleans this morning? On average: the 5-min rainfall rate peaked around 0.5 inches and the 1-hour rainfall rate peaked at just under 3 inches. That is very heavy rainfall rates!!! #turnarounddontdrown #lawx
