The 600 block of South Prieur Street flooded via Streetwise NOLA.

The wider storm

A typical active summertime regime was in place with widespread thunderstorm development. As some of these storms reached the city of New Orleans, they encountered a sea breeze boundary. This boundary both enhanced storm intensity and caused back building of storms. The result was heavy rain and flash flooding.

Began near Vieux Carre (29.9600, -90.0800).
