new orleans, now tropical storm packing 70-miles-per-hour winds, barry moving up the gulf coast, flooding is the big fear as 20-inches of rain could fall in mississippi valley and mississippi is already at flood stage, casey is in louisiana, casey. >> yeah, arthel, we are up north north shore of lake pontchartrain, so large, north of the new orleans metro area, you have a lot of communities and some beautiful homes out here, but talk about high water is extremely too close for comfort, look at what lake pontchartrain looking like this hour. for a little bit of context and perspective, we are in someone's

backyard and they told us that they built this wall here, this concrete wall is 7 feet above sea level, and back in that direction their dock, that is about 5 feet above sea level. so you can see how the water is literally started to get over the 5-foot marker and lapping against the 7-foot tall wall here, but as we were telling you in the last hour, the thing about this is, this is a low-lying area, so you can see the house back there, it's built up on stilts, all of them around here are, in fact, if we keep panning fully around, you can see the house back there, all under stilts, living is all raised. you have places where people can raise boats, they can raise

their cars, all belongs off the ground to try and keep the water at bay, now, we want to show you some video because we are hearing reports of some issues we will -- levies, it's not breach of levies, they just had conference and they we wanted to emphasize that zero levies in the state of louisiana have breached or broken but they are overtopping in some locations like in southern perish, that's south of new orleans, you can see from the video that was shot by the lieutenant governor, private levy has water coming over it, emergency repairs, we understand are being made, this is in the myrtle grove and point celest area. another area has overtopped according to officials, but it is not really posing any threats to residential neighborhoods at this point but no doubt the

pumps are working double to try and get that water out. first time in history all 244 flood gates were sealed off and closed, look at this video, it's something that's not happened as part of massive hurricane protection system following hurricane katrina. throughout various storms in history since katrina, half of them have been closed, 75% but never all of them, they decided yesterday to go ahead and do that including the ones up here along lake pontchartrain, so that is something that's happening, that's unprecedented and no doubt this flood protection system is really being put to the test with barry, as we said, a fairly weak

category 1 hurricane wouldn't make landfall and now downgraded to tropical storm, but the wind not a concern but the flooding. this is why those flood protection systems are being put to the ultimate test and so far the army corps of engineers says everything seems to be holding, no doubt, mad rush to get overtopping situations prepared because if that happens continuously for a long period of time, we understand that that compromises the structural integrity of the levy and then there's a concern of a breach, so any water spilling over it is eroding, so the rush is onto get those patched up and to get them fixed, very fluid situation, arthel, and eric as the systems

always are. >> i'm with you to know that all of the flood gates were closed, $14.6 billion spent for army corps of engineer to be flood walls and all the barriers, surge barriers in the new orleans area, the perimeter around the city, it's good to know that it's working, let's hope and pray that it keeps working. >> absolutely because, again, the national hurricane center is saying people should not let their guard down, do not wave any white flag, it's not time to go out and fight sea and things like that because, again, as i told you in the last hour, although barry has been downgraded the national hurricane center's own wording was the threat may be just beginning for so many people, so that is important to keep in mind, arthel. or arthel: it really is, casey

seigel. >> you got it. eric: meteorologist adam klotz, fox em treatment -- extreme weather, torrential rain. >> winds at 70 miles an hour, it's moving very, very slow, any way that you see it hangs around for a while, moving to the northwest is 6 miles an hour which means as you begin to look at the entire track you get going into early tomorrow morning, you're just in central louisiana, it takes you all the way into monday and run out of the state and continue to push your way north, this is a slow-mover, gives us a lot of time and the heaviest rains still haven't made it to the shore just yet, we continue to see the backside of the system

where the heaviest system has been, that still off the coast, all of it will lift its way in louisiana, bringing the heaviest rain still overnight tonight and early into tomorrow morning, so we are checking out huge area here where we are talking about this rain that's going to continue to fall, it isn't just louisiana, do i want to pay attention to what's in alabama, line has been piling up, we call that training, round after round of heavy showers, they are seeing a lot of rain and, again, some of the heaviest rain to come along the louisiana coast, you do start to see deeper yellows and oranges and reds getting closer to the coast which the heaviest rain probably a couple of hours away. we are already dealing with the wind, that should be continue to go die down, widespread spots 30 to 40-miles-per-hour gusts, any time you see a blank spot, the wind has knocked out one to have sensors, that typically happens in system like this, winds picking up to 60, 70 miles an

hour, highest chance of a flood risk, you notice it runs all the way north and we will get as high north as memphis to see opportunity for severe flooding, all of this right along mississippi river, anything that falls eventually has to run back down the river and we will be testing all those flood gates again, eric, as we just reiterated over and over again, it's all about the rain and that's something that we will have to deal with for days and days as all the water funnels into rivers and work its way back out into the gulf. eric: just the beginnings of this certainly and not flooding that you mention, adam, that poses the worry, thanks, arthel. arthel: just the beginning, hurricane season not over until november 30th, tropical storm barry hoovering over louisiana as emergency crews brace for heavy rains an storm surges, experts say that the worst is yet to come as the slow-moving system slam it is gulf coast, with the latest on how folks are coping there, louisiana senator

john kennedy is joining me now, senator kennedy, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, arthel. >> all right, listen, so i know that president trump declared a state of emergency in louisiana thursday and as former state treasurer are you able to provide the president with a kind of info on the financial support louisiana needs now and could need in the aftermath? >> well, of course, the most important things in life are not things, right now we are focused on human life, we will worry about property later. i've started thinking about that, that's part of my law under the federal staffer act, the president can declare two types of declaration, one is an emergency declaration, that's something he declares before a storm, for example, the president declared an emergency on, i think, it was thursday,

i've talked to him yesterday morning, that means that we are getting all the help we need from fema, the corp of engineers, department of homeland security, we got all levels of government working together, after the storm is through, the president at the request of the governor can issue a second type of declaration called a major disaster declaration and that's when the state can get helpful roads and debris if necessary, individuals and small businesses can get help. arthel: sure. >> we are not there yet, the storm came ashore, i don't know, 150 miles west of new orleans but it's wide, i mean, it looks like a little narrow -- bitty thing on tv but it's about 200 miles wide. the winds depending on the area,

70-mile an hour, what we are worried, arthel, is the water. even if you don't live near water, if you get 15-inches of rain in a day or two you will flood. that's what we are fighting right now, but we are making it, we are ready, my people are tough as a boot, we have been through it before and we just want to get through this without loss of life. arthel: senator, our people are tough as a boot, i'm from louisiana too. i'm right there with you. [laughter] arthel: absolutely, i spoke to mississippi governor bryant earlier today and he's in touch with governor edwards there in louisiana and that he told me folks from louisiana were headed over to -- or did head over to mississippi and shelters in place there, so i'm not sure if you could talk to us about how you help with that sort of coordination, not only between two states, our neighboring states or friends over in mississippi, but also helping governor edwards, governor of

louisiana work with washington, you're in the-up there with the big dogs, if you will. you know thousand work washington. >> mississippi is also getting its share of rain band so they're not getting as -- as severely as we are but they are not being untouched from this thing. we have a headquarter set up in state police and everybody is there, the governor, the officials, corp. of engineers and i have been up there off and on, the mississippi river and leading up to have been higher and we really worry about the mississippi river and the major overtopping levies, so far that hasn't happened, projections that they won't.

we've had levies overtop but we haven't had them fail. that's a relief. but once again, you the heavy rain bands, sometimes 5 or 6-inches, some will be 15, hope we don't have any as high as 20 and when you have that much water falling the water can go somewhere and can go to people's homes and businesses. i have been through a lot of these, everyone is different, every time i go through i find out that power of nature can humble the power of human beings any time it wants to. we think we are in control but we are not, all you can do is try to be prepared as best you can and that's where we are. arthel: all right, senator john kennedy, i know that you are busy, you know, traveling around the state to check on people and making sure they are getting what they need and making sure washington continues to help, i know that you're in touch with

the president, you will keep up for the good folks of louisiana and i thank you for your time. >> the president has been great and we will get through this. thank you. arthel: good to hear, thank you. eric: we will get through this, senator kennedy, tough as a boot, right? the senator also mentioned fema, we will talk to fema official on how that agency is prepared for barry. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands?

rainfall hasn't hit yet, that's still over the coast u thank --k you for joining us in the middle of barry, how is your agency prepared? >> we have been working for louisiana now for several days to make sure we can get resources positioned in advance of the storm, the president authorized an emergency declaration several days ago which let's us move equipment u -- supplies into the affected area so we are on time u >> how is the president's reaction? >> well, at this point he's monitoring the situation very closely as are we, we've got clear direction to lean forward in support of the governors in affected areas, making sure that we get the message out on the nature of the storm, not just winds but the rainfall which ser

kennedy talked about before the break there. it'll continue several days. eric: most of the rains as we point out, let's talk about that, massive flooding and continue through at least wednesday if not further and the danger of that, people hear about a hurricane, tropical storm and say it's just in your area, and once it passes it's over and now threat of potential massive flooding. >> that's exactly right, the rain from storm has potential and we want to make sure we are getting the message out and the storm will continue north up along the mississippi river and days ahead, the southern ohio river valley likely to see effects.

download fema app, things that they have to do to protect themselves. eric: you said southern ohio valley, how does that affect that? going up to ohio affect as far east as pennsylvania because the rivers that get swollen, saturated ground can't handle it all. there's no place for water to go. >> that's right. that means that that we've got a lot of wetter -- wet terrain across the country, if you look at forecast for barry in the coming days, we want folks to ask what are we going to do if we see 10-inches of rainfall without power, do i have supplies that i need for my family, for the folks that you have time to prepare, now the

time to take action. >> what type of action, you're watching television, watching us right now and you're in arkansas, up in tennessee and you think this won't affect you, on the ohio river, you know, for example, what do you do? >> keep the storm drains clear, make sure gutters are clear, keeping your cell phone charge. if you have a generator, does it work? if you've got a family to feed, how would you be without -- without easy transportation or access to grocery store for a few days from food and water perspective, once you've taken care of yourself, how about your neighbors, great spirit of volunteerism and helping folks out across this country and especially in areas that get affected by the disasters but the key thing really especially in southern louisiana and mississippi right now and in the coming days ahead, heed the

warnings, they have the best interest of you and your family in mind and that's really important right now and will be for several days. >> finally, how long do you think this would go and fema's role in that? >> we would be in recovery effort for the long haul. right now our focus is life-safety and life-sustaining mission, the food and water meals and we are not -- we are not alone by any means in this. emergency management in this country locally executed and our effort right now is about life safety and life-sustaining efforts. >> thank you for joining us and we thank you for the work that you do and efforts to try to make us all safe. >> thank you. eric: of course, arthel. arthel: water is causing worry in louisiana even with folks trying to remain calm and as senator john kennedy just told me life is more important than things, we continue live

coverage and latest forecast on barry next. ? yes it is. you know, maybe you'd worry less if you got geico to help with your homeowners insurance. i didn't know geico could helps with homeowners insurance. yep, they've been doing it for years. what are you doing? big steve? thanks, man. there he is. get to know geico and see how much you could save on homeowners and renters insurance.

gillian: for the first time in a long time americans got the opportunity to see conditions inside these border detention facilities firsthand, courtesy of vice president pence's delegation tour, accompanied by republican senators on his trip to facility and viewed holding areas with children and one occupied by nearly 400 adult men confined and with no place to sleep. >> are you comfortable, are you being well taken care of, you have snacks? comfortable, place to get washed up and cleaned? gillian: talked about what he had seen. >> i couldn't be more impressed with the compassionate work that border protection are doing at the facility. the truth here is at the mcallen station they're operating within the very careful guidelines for detaining these single adults, the time has come to stop the irresponsible rhetoric about the way the people are being cared for and treated.

>> officials in the rio grande say they are overwhelmed with migrants crossing border. capitol hill democrats say that's no excuse trump administration treatment of migrants. >> there's no need to arrest innocent people and treat them no differently than criminals when they are pursuing their basic human rights. >> as usual reaction to yesterday's footage of the detention facilities here in washington has been divided along partisan lines, this as thousand of people nationwide are bracing for ice raids, president trump's order to begin tomorrow, 2,000 migrants and family members are expected to be targeted. arthel. arthel: gillian turner, thank you, gillian, eric. eric: back to continuing coverage of tropical storm barry, most of the heavy rain is still right now over the gulf and not hit the land yet,

meteorologist adam klotz back with us with the forecast of the extreme weather center. adam, we have been talking about all the rain over the gulf but at the same time it's going to hit the saturated land and in many places there's no way to go. >> you're absolutely right, that's why flooding has been the biggest concern with the system. you can see in visible satellite, this is all the cloud cover, we are looking for circulation, sometimes you really see high wall. you notice just thickness to have clouds, most of that still offshore, that's where all the rain activity has been, that's going to lift and eventually run on shore and with the ground saturated as eric just said, not a lot of places for it to go. getting to 30, 40 miles an hour, island off the coast, 70 miles an hour bouncing around, 60- -miles-per-hour winds, has to lift its way on shore without

places to go will go into river challenging the levies. estimated rainfall over the last week, so far plenty of areas along the coast where you have about 6-inches, that's why the ground is saturated in a lot of the places and the heaviest rain yet to come, we could be talking about areas get ago discussional 15-inches particularly right in the center of the state where this made landfall just several hours ago. so these are the spots we are paying attention to, fairly bide area from new orleans stretch to go portions, right up along state lines, the deep yellow color, as much as 15-inches of precipitation still on the way on top of what we have already seen, the story isn't that this happens and dries out, look how wide and how far north, right along the mississippi, all of this works back down and challenging the levies, widespread 5 to 10-inches of rain all the way to memphis, all the way to portions of perhaps

kentucky, southern illinois, southern indiana, this is going to impact large area and all funnels back to south challenging all of the areas with flooding probably for a while. here is forecasted path which winds begin to go slow down over night but moving 6 miles an hour, plenty of time for rain to fall by sunday morning still only in central louisiana becoming a post tropical depression by the time it runs up in arkansas, that's not until monday and this is going to be ongoing event in bringing the rain off the coast up inland tonight and into tomorrow, eric. >> as you just pointed out, it's a small area but as you've said this will go up to ohio river valley, indiana, western pennsylvania, and this is going to go on for least a week of potential flooding if not more. >> the winds die down but the moisture will drag in heartland,

that eventually runs to ohio and back to mississippi and floods all the areas once again. eric: wow, that's tough, adam, thank you. arthel, we won't forget folks who had covered as path of barry goes up north. we will take live look on conditions of baton ro, >> this is the mississippi river and you can see it's extremely full and the fact that the weather is letting up, it's sort of deceiving, we caught up with the mayor checking out the conditions, because the forecast calls for the worst weather to come in the morning of barry to

make landfall in the morning, hey, it's not too bad but the worst is yet to come and here is what she had to say about what residents could expect. >> i don't want people to be -- be off guard, you know, i want people to continue to be vigilant, watchful, be prepared. weather is unpredictable. >> the mayor also saying that they're not going to be issuing a curfew here tonight in baton ro, ge, this was never supposed to be event and might not look like the river is super high right here, this is one of the talle levies in baton rogue, you go to further communities and those are the ones at risk and certainly watching the weather as it changes, arthel. arthel: jeff paul, you had the

mayor there, mayor of baton rogue and accidentally labeled her the new orleans mayor, she is not. thank you so much. >> thank you for clarifying, arthel. appreciate that. >> you've got it. eric: deportation raids by ice, they are start today start in major cities as protests ramping up in the nation, kristina coleman with more details, hi, kristina. >> hi, eric, these antideportation raid protests by in large have been peaceful nationwide but i just got off the phone with the spokespersons for tacoma police department in washington, hours after peaceful rally a man caught trying to set the building on fire, he was throwing devices at the facility and cars in the parking lot, police say this led to

officer-involved shooting and man found dead and at this point this incident all still very much under investigation, meanwhile, massive deportations in chicago where protestors are calling for the abolition of ice and closure of detention center, chicago mayor saying city is barring from sharing information from ice officials. in colorado, raised flag of méxico in place. demonstrators spray-painted abolish ice messages on blue lives matter flags, a flag and this ahead of planned raids in denver, here in los angeles, our there were large protests outside of a detention center downtown, demonstrators there calling for undocumented

migrants inside to be released and the facilities to be shut down, they say the plan raids pose a threat to the immigrant community as a whole, not just the people facing deportation. >> yes, if they come to your door and ask for you, you don't have to answer. as a person who is living in their -- in their home, if they don't have a warrant with your name on it, you don't have to answer. >> authorities in some so-called sanctuary cities are refusing to provide resources to ice, supporters of the trump administration say this will make the raids eminently more difficult. >> our agents, officers that will do this work, they have to find the people and any barrier that's put up like telling them what to do when they show up is not a good thing. it might feel good to protect the folks, crossing border without being admitted and

coming in illegally is a crime and for them to flout it and other leadership to flout it is a mistake. >> also unlike to initial planned raids from weeks ago, specific details about tomorrow's actions have not been leaked out, eric. eric: all right, kristina, thanks so much. arthel: i got alert on my phones, winds, flooding, expected through the weekend, thank you for your patience, assessment and restoration are ongoing and safe to do so, that's the -- the electric company there. eric: family all set? arthel: my mom actually is -- she doesn't mess around, she lost everything in katrina, she's at a hotel high up in new orleans, downtown, thankfully things are good. eric: you are new orleans born and bred and you know the effects. arthel: i do. when we do the stories of people who have lost everything in a wild fire or other floods i know exactly the profound impact on

their lives and i know senator john edwards say things aren't important -- senator john kennedy, excuse me, thank you, things are not important, life is. and that is true. you lose your early report cards, your first dolls and all the things, momentous of your life and the things that mark your course along the way, even things in your home is destroyed and you've put markers with pencils as kids grow up, photos, you can't get back, stuff that you've had before things were computerized and everything, so that's all i'm saying, we feel for the people who are any time we do stories on folks who have lost everything, of course, life is more important than things but we understand. we really do understand. eric: we know what they are going through, mom is okay. arthel: she is, thanks for asking, she's watching, we will come back and when we come back we will talk with the president

arthel: slow-moving tropical storm slamming new who are leaps, live look now, rainfall and flooding, the major concerns here in the city almost surrounded by water, joining us on the phone with update is natalie, president of st. john baptist perish which is not new orleans, it's orleans perish. st. john the pe shish, st. john baptist perish in emergency are resident heeding warning to evacuate voluntarily. >> 25 miles to the west, however, we are surrounded by water both lake pontchartrain

and mississippi river and unfortunately st. john baptist doesn't have levy protectants. we've seen surge of up to right under 4 feet and, of course, once we get to 6 feet that causes problems for our neighborhoods and we begin to get water into our roadways, but at this point we still have concern. arthel: yeah, that's a lot. what's the plan, though, i mean, to help those residents? >> actually, all of the residents, we have actually issued voluntary evacuation, we have areas along lake pontchartrain, it's already flooded, so those individuals, although they have homes that are on highlands and elevated,

some of them have lapsed and we are encouraging the others to leave the area in the event we get additional rainfall and if the rivers along lake pontchartrain begin to train into lake pontchartrain we will continue to have some of the problems that cross-flooding in the neighborhood. the lake is moving more westerly which means our canals along the eastern side of the perish are beginning to fill out. we do monitor with, again, 1.8 feet, should we begin to get the 10 to 15-inches of rain that's predicted, we will begin to have problems with our ability to drain, but pumps are

active, we will generate power to them, we have additional temporary pump add today areas, we've not had to use any of those, we are still waiting, although people may think that the worst is over, it is not, weather update that suggest throughout afternoon and evening we should begin to have more rain or see more rain but our residents are heeding on warning, they are not really out on the streets m of the businesses have closed which is good for them and their employees and we do have sheriff's deputies out patrolling to making sure everything is protected. >> what about the plan that is help residents that might end up trapped by flood waters should it come to that? >> teams with search and rescue, high-water vehicles, partners with national guard here, the sheriff's office has search and rescue, we have contracts with shelters and bus drivers that are on standby and ready to

activate should be needed. arthel: we are showing pictures of new orleans even though you are st. baptist perish. >> actually we are not in new orleans, i got misinformation, i will not blast them right now. >> st. john baptist perish is between new orleans and baton rogue, however, we are surrounded by water, thank you for the clarification, you've got towns like reserve. >> reserve. arthel: yeah, just give the folks an idea of what life is like there when there is no storm or hurricane. >> well, culturally we are a small town with very close to baton rogue and new orleans, access to both, mall town,

community that we have gone through major issues, we've experienced major tornado following that within the next couple of years, we are somewhat battle tested, we do have a system of communicating with residents and we encourage all year long outside of hurricane season, so we do have ways of communicating with them that can go directly to their homes, cell phones, their emails, our and, of course, you know, we have government asset panel -- they need to be prepared for power outages and as of today this morning we had about a thousand homes without power, that's been reduced to 375,000 homes, they are likely to lose power, encourage them to sign up for alerts on their phones or media outlets in the event that their

television, they can't watch on tv. arthel: those who are watching on tv and listening on radio, perish president of st. john baptist perish is helpful, good luck to you and everyone in your area, thank you very much. >> thank you very much for reaching out to us and hopefully residents are listening in, are confident that we are prepared and ready and here for danger. arthel: good luck, thank you. eric: other news this weekend, latest vacancy in president trump's cabinet, labor secretary acosta announcing resignation yesterday, n the wake of jeffrey epstein prosecution, ellison barber joins us from the white house with the very latest on this, hi, ellison. >> hi, eric, turnover in this administration was already high with the resignation of secretary acosta, roughly two-thirds of president trump's cabinet has turned over by the halfway mark of his first term,

president trump said acosta's resignation was not needed and assumed to be former labor secretary made the decision on his own. >> this was him, not me because i'm with him, he was a -- he's a tremendous talent. there hasn't been ounce of controversy in the department of labor until this came up. >> acosta has been dogged by allegations he mishandled 2008 prosecutorial agreement jeffrey epstein, accused of abusing and trafficking young girls. >> i think secretary acosta did the right thing and the way he treated the young ladies and it's extremely unfortunate. >> the palm beach state attorney's office was ready to let jeffrey epstein walk free, nothing, we did what we did because we wanted to see epstein

go to jail. >> acosta said he chose to resign a day after he said that he would not resign indicated to a press corp. that he had no intention of stepping down unless the president asked him to, he said he stepped down because he did not want to be a distraction. >> it would be selfish for me to stay in this position and continue talking about a case that's 12 year's old rather than amazing economy that we have right now. >> the deputy secretary of labor pat will step in as acting secretary next week. eric. eric: all right, ellison, thanks so much. arthel. arthel: eric we will check in with steve harrigon, live in mississippi, that's straight ahead. stay with us.

eric: tropical storm barry downgraded from hurricane after making landfall in louisiana, what's being called a major dangerous flooding expected along the mississippi river, that is barry moves very slowly north. heaviest rain, well, that hasn't hit the land yet, steve harrigon, right on the gulf as you can see with preparations there, hey, steve, how is it going? >> eric, the wind has been pretty steady throughout the day, light rain falling right now, you can see the white caps churning behind me, the real concern from officials is the rain, we could see 10 to 20-inches in parts of mississippi, high water vehicles this morning going through flooded neighborhoods more than 200 roads in mississippi now flooded and these vehicles looking for people who needed

help, overrun neighborhood where we were, those people did not need help. many houses also up on stilts but the deputy fire chief warned that often the water can rise quickly and take even veterans by surprise. >> most of the time it's where the water has came too fast on them and we will take our rescue vehicles and come down, every now and then you get the elderly person that is not able to and that's why we are there for, we will come down and get them out. >> mississippi has more than 3,000 national guards prepared, they also have team of swift water rescue boats and hi-water vehicles, the worst of the rain is still throughout the day and overnight, they could have their work cut out for them in next several hours. eric back to you. eric: that's exactly right, steve, thank you.

arthel. arthel: all right, st. louis, mississippi, we will have more of new orleans at the top of the hour. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can't do anything about that. .. none of your ideas make eyecare more frustrating,

heavy rain. officials warn the worst is yet to come as the storm moves north. i'm arthel neville. eric: i'm eric shawn. tropical storm barry made landfall near intercoastal step up near lafayette, louisiana, 100 miles west of new orleans. the storm is threatening millions of people in the gulf coast region. it's backing a 1-2 -- packing a 1-2 punch of heavy rain along with the storm swell along the mississippi river. reporter: new orleans has fared pretty well so far. water is a major concern and we keep hearing things could get worse before they improve. we are standing next to the

industrial canal that connects lake pontchartrain with the mississippi river. beyond that draw brick and that lock is where the levee failed during hurricane katrina in 2005. it's the lower 9th ward that was flooded and decimated. hundreds of homes and thousands of people displaced when the water came crashing through that levee and destroyed so much of this neighborhood inside the city of new orleans and just to its east. some of the homes that managed to survive and rebuilt. they are on the other side of this levee that is holding up against the mississippi river at 17 feet, not the 19 feet they were worried about. water is a major concern here.

when you think about standing in a pickler versus running through it. if you run through you won't get so wet. but if you stand in it you will get soaked. the fashion weather center said we should expect heavy rain later tonight into mississippi. here is more from the new orleans their. >> we are out of the eye, but we are not out of the conditions that will cause heavy rainfall for the city of new orleans. although barry has slowed, it's also intensified. pushing the timing of expected impacts further into today, tonight and sunday. while the storm surgeries can on our mississippi river has passed, the primary risk

continues to remain heavy rains for the city of new orleans. reporter: the mayor urging people to remain vigilant and hunker down in place if possible. there are 130,000 customers without power at this hour. and that number has been rising. new orleans airport is closed along with the baton rouge airport. they hope to resume normal operations sometime tomorrow perhaps if and when this storm lessens to a point. oil and natural gas production has been cut back because of the storm. 42% of the platforms in the gulf have been evacuated. that's 283 platforms and 10% of the rigs were evacuated and moved out of the storm's path.

that's 10% of oil production and 56% of natural gas production. the coast guard has been doing some rescues. 11 so far as a lot of people failed to evacuate their homes even though there were orders issued for the low-lying areas. we heard from the admiral of the coast guard. >> we are planning for the long-haul. we are planning for this storm to be in the state of louisiana for another 24 hours. it's very important to emphasize the best way to get help is to call 911. social media is not the best way to do it. reporter: for folks in new orleans and around the crescent city. new orleans is doing just fine, the water is not encroaching over the levees or flood walls.

every flood wall in and around the mississippi river in new orleans were closed for the first time ever. this is the first time it has been threatened when the river was at flood stage. they are concerned about flash flooding and the possibility of other areas in the city of new orleans. there has been a lot of focus on the pumping stations. there are more than 100 of them designed to keep the water off the streets. we got a tweet from the sewer board. it may appear the water is not moving, but it is training. picture your bathtub after you pull the drain. you don't see swirling immediately but the water is pumping.

as the rain continues to fall heavier throughout tonight and tomorrow. some of this is like a wait and see kind of thing. eric: billions have gone into the water system and those levee to defend that wonderful great city and certainly hope that will happen. arthel: as long as the pumps keep work we are in good shape. tropical storm barry moving north and drenching the area with heavy rainfall. we'll bring in adam klotz. we just got an update and we see the wind have backed off to 65 miles per hour. that's to be expected. if this runs over land, the kid will have to continue to die down. picking up just a tiny bit of speed. this is such a slow mover.

part of the reason we'll see so much rain and flooding potential. we are moving to the northwest at 7 miles per hour. it was anywhere from 3 to 5 miles an hour. so just a little bit of speeding up. that will be good news. what we were paying attention to, we are waiting for the worst of the rain to work its way onshore. you see deep, dark colors hanging 50 miles offshore. that is going to be something we have to pay close attention to. this is kind of interesting. you can see the center of circulation. these are wind barbs. the center of circulation right in there and difficult to see. i put this into motion. we run through tonight. this will take us to tomorrow afternoon. you start to see the center of circulation up toward the state line and northern coast, the northern state line of

louisiana. look at all this moisture drug behind it. the heavy rain stays behind this system bringing with it what will be downpours. such little movement tells you it will have a lot of time to rain. the greatest flood risk continues to be off toward the center of the state and it runs all the way up to memphis. it's a lot of moisture and it's moving slow. there is a long ways to go at this point. eric: we can't forget hurricane katrina. it claimed the lives of about 1,800 people. they say a lot of lessons have been learned since that disaster. a sophisticated system of pulls and barriers and levees have been built. louisiana is responding to the storm. mike steel, the communications director at office of homeland

security and emergency preparedness. thank you for taking time to fill us in. basically you are repaired? >> it seems like every move we could make at this point, we went to our highest level of activation thursday morning at 6:00 a.m. and we have been working around the clock since then. we had great cooperation from the local officials all the way up to our federal partner with the coast guard and army corps of engineers. everything is work as it should. some of the river projections in that area have been lower than expected. now we have heavy rainfall threats impacting parts of the state. it looks like the heavy rain will start tonight. and it could take more than a day to clear out of the south louisiana region. so it's something we'll have to keep an eye on, and there is a

significant flash flood threat. eric: what type of measures have been taken. can you outline some of the precautions and things you have done to defend louisiana since that time? >> i can talk about some of the steps we are taking with this particular event, specifically. we have 3,000 guard personnel that have been activated. there are hundreds of buses on standby. there is about 60 own mates that have been transferred to different correctional facilities out of harm's way. as of midnight we had 300 people in shelters. and we have handby shelters -- we have standby shelters should those become overwhelmed. we are taking proactive steps and the governor urged us to be

aggressive with our approach. one thing about emergency management. if you stay ahead of knowledge problems. if you get behind, you never catch up. it seems everything we can have ready to go is available. eric: what are you most of concerned about and what are you most of popeful about? >> d what are you most of hopeful about? >> the river projections were supposed to overtop the levees south of new orleans. there are a few secondary levee concerns. you guys mentioned some of the water rescues needed overnight. those areas were where evacuation orders were issued. evacuation orders are issued at the local level. we support those orders when

they take action. understand that that flash flood threat may not start until after dark tonight, and it may take a day or two for that to fully develop. then we have inland riverways, smaller rivers, not the mississippi river. but smaller' waterways that caused flooding in 2015 throughout the state. eric: do you think you recovered from the 2016 flood? >> there are still people trying to recover from that. there is a lot of concern and a lot of anxiety when you talk about these types of events and what's coming in. we are hoping we'll see a break like we are getting so far. but there is no guarantees that's going to happen. so we need the public to understand their role in helping us get through this. eric: we are looking at a live

shot picture of morgan city, louisiana. it doesn't seem torrential. yet the forecasters are saying the intense rain, the deluge is still out in the gulf and hasn't hit yet. that raises the possibility overnight of rising levels, potential flooding, and that's continuing over the next few days. >> that's right. most of of the serious accidents tend to happen when people are driving through flooded areas or driving across flooded roadways. so the old motto is turn around, don't drown. we are asking people to may attention to that. the department of transportation has a great resource available. to make sure if there are any road closures you are aware of that situation before you get behind the wheel. some of the areas may be cut off

depending on how bad the flash flooding becomes fit happens. some of the areas you couldn't get to in 2016 because so many roads were inundated. the old motto is the first 72 is on you. have three days of supplies. make sure those things ready to go so if there are flash flood issues, you are ready. eric: we are look at photos of folks filling sandbags, so the community spirit certainly comes together. the spirit of this country, community and what this nation stands for. we are all with you have. our hearts are with the folks in louisiana this afternoon. >> i appreciate it. eric: we appreciate your work, too. arthel: on somewhat of a lighter note, but important to rolling

arthel: tropical storm barry is moving slowly across the gulf coast. joining me by phone is the mayor and president of baton rouge. thank you for joining us. if you could, we are showing live pictures of your city here. some flags tbhipght wind. >> thank you for having me.

arthel: you know, what would you say is your biggest concern tomorrow night fall? >> our biggest concern nightfall is that residents make sure that all the preparation they have done, the sandbags, et cetera, that they are implemented because that's when we'll have our biggest rainfall to make sure our citizens remain off the streets. they have been very great about being in compliance with our request. i feel we are prepared and our citizens are certainly cooperative and they have been proactive along with us.

arthel: we are showing pictures of the residents helping with the sandbags. and we showed pictures of grocery store shelves that were completely empty. so folks did get supplies for what they would neat the next few days in case of a power outage. what's your confidence level the power will stay on there in baton rouge? >> we are pretty confident that the power will stay on. we had our representative from entergy speak at our most of recent press conference. they are prepared to assist with us during this time. that's what it's going to take for to us get through an event like this. it takes communication, cooperation and collaboration. we have all of those working on our behalf.

arthel: it's my understanding baton rouge airport is closed. but are most of businesses open? >> to my knowledge, flights are not coming into the baton rouge airport at this time, but the airport is not closed. the airport is open this week. the flights have been canceled. arthel: the airport is open, flights have been canceled. the same in new orleans as well. i know you have so many things on your plate, what would you say is consuming most of of your time? >> i have found it necessary to make sure our citizens understand that even in the midst of a challenge like this, a major weather event, that we are going respownsive, and -- that we are being responsive and proactive and work on this together. making sure everyone stays calm.

my message has been we don't want people to be paralyzed by fear but we want them to be prayeprayerfully prepared. arthel: we appreciate your time, good luck to you and the residents of baton rouge. we are with you. eric: we'll have an update on barry's path live from the fox weather center next. my experience with usaa has been excellent. they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa"

the storm was downgrade from a hurricane when it made landfall earlier this afternoon. downgrade to a tropical storm. the heavy rain combined a slow-moving storm, that could cause what is predicted to be dangerous flooding the next few days. the mayor of baton rouge told me people are taking it in stride. >> you can probably hear some of the strong wind gusts moving through. that's been happening all afternoon as we get closer to the evening. every once in a while we'll get a break. we'll have strong gusts and the rain will start dropping in. this is the outer band. this is one of the levees that separates the city of baton rouge and the mississippi river.

that is the mississippi river. it is full of water right now, and this area very saturated. as the storm makes its way up inland and northwest as they are saying it could, the concern is that all that water won't have anywhere to go. and you will see a lot of flooding in these communities, especially in baton rouge. they are sort of being proactive, i don't know if you can tell. they set up porta-potties, and they set up hand washing stations. and there is no shame if you are worried and you are in an area that normally floods. take a listen to how one volunteer explains it. >> i would rather you make the call and not need it than beneath need it and and not be

here. let's make some new friend and family and friends. reporter: the mayor told us he's expecting this rain event to come through the evening. they were anticipating this earlier in the morning. he's trying to get the word out to people that this isn't even the start. they are watching the news, and if they are told to evacuate or if they start to see water come up, that they get out before it's too late. >> literally it seems to be the calm before the storm. the mayor said the weather is going to hit overnight with that massive rain that could cause and start. arthel: the storm knocking out power for 70,000 people and dumping heavy rain that could last for days.

adam klotz is tracking the storm in the fox weather center. adam: this is a visible satellite. all the cloud cover. you notice how dense it is off coast. that's where all the rain is, dragging everything with it. there it is. a light spot in the cloud west of lafayette. we are several miles offshore. but the majority of this system, the heavy rain, thunder and emergency is offshore. this is the radar image for right now. you still see most of of the activity well offshore. it will take a while to drag this on to shore. there are areas to the east we'll pay attention to. mobile, they have been seeing a lot of rain. so it's not just the louisiana coast we are paying attention to. this is interesting. i showed you where the center of

circulation is. this is a future radar. i can run from now all the way to this time tomorrow. you are getting into sunday afternoon, sunday evening. the center of circulation is pulling its way up to the boundary of louisiana and arkansas. by this time tomorrow afternoon, pulling the heaviest rain into the center part of the state. it's not going to move very quick. so these areas will see the rain add up a whole lot. this is additional rainfall. some of these deeper yellow could colors, that's a huge area. the system dragging that rain all the way up to memphis and portions of southern illinois and southern indiana. this is a large system, and this is right along the mississippi river, arthel. so all of this water will slowly drift back down so we are

looking at flood stage levels. arthel: so in this case slow and steady is not a good thing. adam: we are talking about a situation that will possibly linger into monday as well. eric: as tropical storm barry battered the gulf coast, we have tips on severe weather emergency apps that can help you weather a storm where you live. >> you lose fox news so you start to look for your local radio stations. then you start to tune into apps. apps are very effective for any emergency. when you are reporting out in storms. gas buddy was the one that helped you out. it finds a gas station that's open after a storm. >> and does haven't a tremendous line.

testify against him. reporter: jeffrey epstein faces up to 34 years in prison. prosecutors say that's motive enough to flee and he has the resources to do it. the new york prosecutors unveiled new accusations yesterday in a motion to keep epstein behind bars. prosecutors say he has not lived a law abiding life and wired hundreds of thousands of dollars who people who could testify against him. he hasn't been charged over the alleged hush money payments. but analysts say what's in the motion to deny bail could constitute ground for an obstruction charge. just three days after that on or

about december 23 the defendant wired $250,000 from the same trust account to another individual named as a possible co-conspirator. david weinstein, an assistant prosecutor in miami says that wiring could signal more arrests to come. >> it will be income bunt upon them -- it will be incumbent upon them to explain why they received those payments. so if they can't refute certain allegations, they will be arrested like epstein was. reporter: the u.s. attorney who brokered the deal resigned. a federal judge ruled that deal violated the victims rights act.

arthel: mississippi is one of the gulf coast states getting walloped by tropical storm barry. steve harrigan is in bay st. louis, mississippi. reporter: officials are warning the heart of the storm is still out there. 200 roads have been covered by

water in mississippi. largely impassable. and they could see up to 20 inches of rain. the governor warning the real problems are still ahead. >> this storm is still coming ashore. the sooner bands will bring more water. 5 inches now in and around the gulf coast area. so we'll have flooding. there will be more, not only here on the mississippi delta, but southwest mississippi and adding to the floodwater in the mississippi delta. this will be a long and slow recovery. reporter: officials are expected people will be trapped or isolated in their houses. rescue assets are positioned across the state. some of the military vehicles 5 or 6 feet off the ground that

can reach almost anything. they are being prepositioned. it will being a long 18 hours ahead for those rescue forces. arthel: steve hair gawn live in bay st. louis, mississippi. thank you. eric: let's bring in the executive director of the mississippi emergency management agency 30 miles north much gulfport. how is the state specifically prepared? >> we have been watching this. it will dump a lot of rain' on southwest mississippi. we have to turn our attention further north in the state. we prepositioned search and rescue assets at strategic points around the state for the

counties from the heavy rain band affected areas. we are look at 10-12 inches of rain. we are planning on the higher amounts of rain. we look at those areas in southwest mississippi. unfortunately those are the same areas that were inundated with rain in february. we were concerned about the amount of rain coming into those areas. eric: you have an oversaturated land where the water has nowhere to go. you the deluge coming in from the gulf overnight. where does that water go and how are you able to handle it especially when you saw the devastation back with katrina. >> so one year in particular,
