| episode_narrative | A low pressure system in the northern Gulf of Mexico intensified in strength on February 15 before moving inland over extreme southeast Louisiana and south Mississippi during the late afternoon and evening hours. Sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph were common across southeast Louisiana during the day with wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph being reported during the afternoon and early evening. The sustained gusty winds caused a few tree limbs to break. A few power outages occurred when broken limbs landed on power lines. Tides were 2 to 3 feet above normal along the open coast with a few areas around Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne reporting tides levels 4 to 5 feet above normal. The high water resulted in coastal flooding of low lying roadways in several areas of southeast Louisiana outside of the hurricane protection levee system. In the coastal waters, a barge being pushed by a tug boat struck an oil platform south of Bootheville resulting in injuries to eight people. In Lake Pontchartrain, strong winds also pushed two barges into a bridge over the Industrial Canal resulting in minor damage. |
