Several Kenner streets flooded Sunday as a thunderstorm passed over the metro New Orleans area, dumping rain and slowing traffic.
The city of Kenner released a list of streets that were experiencing flooding Sunday afternoon:
- The 200 block of West Esplanade
- The 3400 block of Chateau Boulevard
- The intersection of Loyola Drive and East Loyola Drive
- The intersection of Chateau and Dolphin Court
- The 2000 block of 37th Street and 38th Street
- The 1100 block of Vintage Drive
- The intersection of 31st Street and Loyola Drive
Forecasts indicate there will be a 70 percent chance of showers in Kenner throughout the day and a 30 percent chance of rain overnight in the area, officials said.
Other parts of the metro area took on water as well, but not to the same extent. The only area of New Orleans to report street flooding was Carrollton Avenue, in the western part of the city.
This is the second day in a row New Orleans has been watered down by thunderstorms. Saturday's storm led to minor street flooding along the eastern side of the city.
