00:00I'm in Kenner, Louisiana, where even though Tropical Rainstorm Arthur is beginning to
00:04move out of the area, much of the danger still remains.
00:07Behind me you can see flooded roadways, and I've seen multiple vehicles that have stalled
00:12and had to get towed away after their drivers tried to make it through the water.
00:16Officials always warn, turn around, don't drown, and this right here is exactly why.
00:22Floodwaters can hide debris, curves, ditches, and it doesn't take much moving water to create
00:28a life-threatening situation.
00:29This same system has also produced multiple tornadoes across the New Orleans area and into
00:34southern Mississippi, adding another layer of concern to the situation.
00:38But for now, the immediate concern in the New Orleans metro is the flooding that remains
00:43after the worst of the rain.
00:44For AccuWeather, I'm Storm Chaser Connor McCrory.
