BATON ROUGE, La. - Gov. John Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency for Louisiana in advance of Tropical Storm Nicholas, on Sept. 12, which has formed in the Gulf of Mexico and is forecasted to bring heavy rains and flash flooding to the state in the coming days. Areas affected by hurricanes Ida and Laura, and flash flooding earlier in the year, could see impacts from the tropical weather. As of 6 p.m. Sunday, there are still 130,478 power outages in SE Louisiana caused by Ida. The governor's operation center has been activated. The most severe threat is to SW Louisiana. It’s also likely that all of South Louisiana will see heavy rain this week. (Source: Daily Iberian 09/12/21)
