Just after 6pm Sunday evening, Tropical Storm Cristobal officially made landfall in Southeast Louisiana between the mouth of the Mississippi River and Grand Isle, LA.
It’s been a rough day along the central Gulf Coast with whipping winds, heavy rain, and a few feet of storm surge lashing areas from coastal Louisiana all the way east into the Florida Panhandle. This will continue through tonight into Monday morning.
Cristobal will continue to inch north up the Mississippi Valley, stretching the flooding threat all the way up in central Missouri over the next day or two. Furthermore, wind and rain will continue to move up through the western Great Lakes by midweek.
