Im also following Tropical Storm barry which has now made landfall in the u. S. 8 of louisiana this despite weakening from a category one hurricane its still forecast to dump heavy rain that could last for days the storm called ashore near intercoastal city about 257 kilometers west of new orleans more than 70000 people were already without power on saturday morning in louisiana and mississippi louisiana as governor gave this message for residents in his state. Also a question of read this is just the beginning. I ask everyone to stay vigilant. And be safe. This is always been projected to be rain flooded and it ruby vast majority of the rain thats falling right now is for a number growth that will soon change as the storm continues to move north lets get the latest now from jay gray who joins us live from new orleans so obviously it has now made landfall describe the conditions there for us. Right. And weve had a spitting rain gust of wind at times though its relatively calm right now as the governor just talked about though thats going to intensify it is starting now and were going to see that intensify of the next 24 to 48 hours here we expect heavy rains in some areas more than they can bear so standing water and flooding is definitely still something that is a big concern for so many in this area because this is an area thats below sea level for once the water gets in this by pumping stations as it builds to a certain level theres absolutely nowhere for it to go through all of this is just a bowl here and that water begins to fill but bowl. Right but we are seeing certainly some activity that behind you people are out in the streets that driving that cause what is the general advice from the authorities that. In the lower parishes the lower lying areas there are mandatory evacuations and place some that were instituted today after the storm made landfall so people are scrambling to Higher Ground here in the city not what you would normally see on a saturday night and all of this city known for its jazz known for its food and known for its party it is relatively upbeat yes there are people on the street youre absolutely right and people kind of milling about many of them just want to take a look but there is a shelter in place order that does go into effect for the 2nd night in a row at 8 pm here i think youll see things clear out they certainly did last night and thats when well start to see a bulk of some of this rain as well so people got to get to a place where theyll be safe and kind of ride this thing out and thats what authorities as well as 1st responders are asking those who decided to stay to do exactly because it is the rain that poses the biggest threat isnt it what measures have been taken to pass the flooding. Well never before in the history of this city have all the floodgates surrounding it and around the area been closed they are and have been for the last couple of days over 120 popping stations 118 are on line of questioning ready to work if the magnitude of water thats going to be the issue here sandbags are in place in certain areas some windows were boarded up and now its a waiting game for many in this area its been a frustrating waiting game because this storm is moving so slowly thats why authorities are urging people to Pay Attention i understand that its not here yet but its definitely still coming. Thank you very much with all the latest from new orleans jay gray reporting. Or in other developments in the u. S.

Marcella esperanza is from san franciscos immigrant and Legal Education network and says people need to be aware of that rights today isis operations are a lot more covert they conduct extensive surveillance and we outside of peoples homes and wait for them to come out or to let people open the door and let them inside and then conduct collateral arrests.
