OF NICHOSLA HERE IN NEW ORLEANS MANY OF YOU SAY YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT THE RAIN FROM THIS TROPICAL STORM, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THERE’S A LOT OF DEBRIS LEFT FROM IDA. SOME OF IT IS BLOCKING STORM. DRAINS WDSU’S HARRISON GOLDEN JOINS US LIVE IN THE LAKEWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD TONIGHT IN HARRISON. I KNOW YOU MET SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING OUT THERE TRYING TO EASE THOSE FLOODING CONCERNS. INDEED CHRISTINA NOW, OF COURSE OVER THE PAST TWO WKSEE WE HEAV SEEN WITH IDA THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING A GOODEI NGHBOR HOW IMPORTANT THAT ACTUALLY IS AND NOW WITH NICHOLAS WE ARE ALREADY SEEING SOME NEIGHBORS STEPPING UP AGAIN.

THE LAKEVIEW HOMEOWNER SPENT A FEW MINUTES OF HIS AFTERNOON CLEARING CATCH BASINS NEAR HIS HOME.

BUT BEER SAYS IT COULD BE WORSE FOR NOW. SHE’LL JUST WATCH THE ROADS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. OH AND WITH THE RAIN WE ALL WORRY.
