Heavy rain caused flooding at the intersection of Orleans Avenue and N Broad Street 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.
