The storm could still bring dangerous rainfall flooding and storm surge to coastal regions southwest of New Orleans and to Baton Rouge and Lafayette. Predictions for when the centre of the storm would make landfall were pushed back from sunrise to late morning or early afternoon as Barry crawled across the Gulf Coast at about 3 miles per hour, forecasters with the National Hurricane Center said.
Some nervous residents opted to flee the city, and tourism officials reported an abrupt exodus of out-of-town visitors on Friday. New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said 48 hours of heavy downpours could overwhelm pumps designed to purge streets and storm drains of excess water.
