Lee Remnants - Aftermath - Reports - NWS warnings

Drivers are urged to stay off the roads in South Mississippi if possible, as rain from Tropical Storm Lee continues to drench the Coast.

Drivers should “stay off the road unless they have an emergency reason to be out,” Jackson County Emergency Director Donald Langham said. “That’s the best advice.”

Langham warned all drivers should avoid roads covered with water, especially if barricades are up.


JAMES EDWARD BATES/SUN HERALD A driver makes their way through flood waters on Chapman Rd. in Bay St. Louis on Saturday. Heavy rains and storm surge from Tropical Storm Lee is flooding some areas of the Coast.

“Don’t go around (the barricades),” he said.

Langham and emergency directors Rupert Lacy in Harrison County and Brian Adam in Hancock County said Lee has caused relatively little damage across the Coast.

Though tornado warnings were in effect earlier today, none was reported, they said.

“We’ve been very fortunate not to have any damage,” Lacy said.

A shelter is open in Kiln, and Hancock County residents are under a voluntarily evacuation for low-lying, flood-prone areas.

Langham said he is meeting with Red Cross officials and may open a shelter in Jackson County on Sunday.

No shelters are open in Harrison County.

Looking at the Storm Total from Mobile NWS (http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=mob&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=no) it looks like we've received 5-8 inches here in Mobile. Our rain gauge is reading about 6 1/2" now. How many more days of this?! People are saying this reminds them of Danny, and I want to scream, "NO!" And on a sad note: My brand new umbrella bit the dust in some of the strong wind gusts around sunset before I could shut it. At least I didn't take off like Mary Poppins!

Harrison County EMA Director Rupert Lacy said, "We are encouraging drivers if you don't have to use Highway 90, stay off of it."

"Highway 90 does have a lot of sand that has built up. Especially in the east bound lane, it is very treacherous for drivers to be driving on it," Lacy said.

Mobile Bay at the Fairhope Big Pier on Sept 2nd.


The Fairhope Big Pier on Sept 2nd as Tropical Storm Lee was coming in. This is the same pier that Hurricane Katrina took out. Yes, it is concrete.


This is my side of my gate at my house. Taken on Sept 3 during TS Lee. I wonder if my Banana Tree will still be standing after tonight.


Sept 3 at Fish River Boat Ramp off of HWY 98 in Fish River. On the other side is Weeks Bay.


A common site down HWY 1 in Point Clear on Sept 3.


This was Wednesday night looking for a Jubilee along Mobile Bay. We were at Fairhope Yacht Club. Thought I would throw this in since this was a day before the fun started.




At the Park along the Beach in Fairhope. The parking lot is flooded in some area.


The resident geese of Fairhope are even confused today with TS Lee messing things.

Here are road closing for Baldwin County in South Alabama. I don't know if it has been updated though. Two roads on different sides of the County. One going down to Ft. Morgan and the other is near Bay Minette Alabama in the northern part of the county. I imagine this will change as we get more rain for this area because it is looking pretty bad and we have at least one more day of this and maybe 2.

I walked outside to check the weather and this is what I found coming from under the car. He's under the shed now and I am hoping the water in the backyard goes down enough to draw him back to his home. I have been seeing them along the road all day. BTW: I will not be going outside tonight and nor will I be going outside alone in the morning.

We also had a snake that was under the carport. Lee's flooding rain is sending a lot wildilfe out of their habitats.

This evening, it began to rain on the heavy side, but tonight it is just light rain. The water in the front ditch was starting to go down a bit.
Officials say the water should begin to rise again since high tide is coming around and we will have S winds 25-35mph. Houma TV station has video clips on its website (http://www.kfolkjun.com/htv/). They were showing the local low-lying areas that have flooded in terrebonne parish.
