Summary
Tropical Storm Arthur slammed into Southeast Louisiana with brutal force, dumping 6-9 inches of rain in hours and triggering flash floods, overwhelmed flood control systems, and three confirmed tornadoes—including one that tore through City Park and hit the University of New Orleans. The storm’s early morning arrival caught outreach teams off-guard, leaving homeless residents stranded outside shelters, while campus winds ripped roofs and blew out windows. Despite missed alerts and widespread damage, the university kept power running and is already planning recovery. Officials say the situation could’ve been far worse—and normal operations will resume soon. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
